DSM-IV-TR® Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
Fourth Edition
The standard diagnostic tool used by mental health professionals worldwide to promote reliable research, accurate diagnosis, and thus appropriate treatment and patient care. Each psychiatric disorder with its corresponding diagnostic code is accompanied by a set of diagnostic criteria and descriptive details including associated features, prevalence, familial patterns, age-, culture-, and gender-specific features, and differential diagnosis.


DSM-IV-TR® Handbook of Differential Diagnosis

Michael B. First, M.D., Allen Frances, M.D., Harold Alan Pincus, M.D.
A succinct reference to help ensure that all important diagnoses that need to be ruled out during a clinical evaluation are considered. Outlined are the six crucial steps in differential diagnosis that must be considered for every patient. Plus, 27 decision trees delineate how to go from the most common presenting symptoms to a final diagnosis, and 62 differential diagnosis tables provide a head-to-head comparison of a disorder with its differential diagnostic contenders.


Symptom Index
Another important tool for differential diagnosis, taken from DSM-IV-TR Handbook of Differential Diagnosis.

Introduction

Symptom Index
Alphabetical listing of symptoms that allows clinicians to go from symptom to syndrome in establishing a diagnosis. For each symptom, the DSM-IV-TR disorders that should be considered when formulating the differential diagnosis are listed.

Symptom Index by Category
Organizes the individual symptoms into major categories.

Syndrome Index
Some Symptom Index entries refer to syndromes (e.g., Panic Attack, Major Depressive Episode, Dementia). In such situations, turn to the Syndrome Index for an expanded list of disorders that are associated with that syndrome and in turn with a particular symptom.


Cases from DSM-IV-TR® Casebook and Its Treatment Companion

Robert L. Spitzer, M.D., Miriam Gibbon, M.S.W., Andrew E. Skodol, M.D., Janet B. W. Williams, D.S.W., Michael B. First, M.D.
Real-world cases that bring DSM diagnostic criteria and treatment to life. Case studies provide an effective opportunity to practice the principles of differential diagnosis with a wide range of patients and can provide exposure to diagnostic categories not often encountered in clinical practice. For selected cases, world-renowned experts provide in-depth discussions of state-of-the-art approaches to treatment.
