Desk Reference to the Diagnostic Criteria from DSM-5-TR by American Psychiatric Association

A compact reference to psychiatric diagnostic criteria

The American Psychiatric Association presents the diagnostic criteria from DSM-5-TR in a compact format intended for professional reference. Organised by diagnostic category, the book brings criteria and associated coding information together so that particular entries can be located without consulting the full manual's explanatory chapters. Its purpose is to support readers already working with the classification system represented by the edition, offering a convenient companion rather than an introductory account of mental health. The Desk Reference provides a structured overview of the manual's diagnostic framework, with attention to the distinctions used across categories. It is a specialist resource for clinicians, trainees and others studying the criteria and terminology of DSM-5-TR.
