Abstract:	Study Guide to DSM-IV-TR demonstrates the fundamental features of DSM-IV-TR disorders through brief clinical vignettes, and questions and answers. These vignettes help beginning students and experienced clinicians visualize a disorder in the context of a multidimensional patient who is characterized by more than just the fulfillment of individual diagnostic criteria. The book describes common problems in diagnosis, providing guidelines for resolving issues of diagnostic uncertainty. It summarizes the core concepts of the diagnostic group discussed in each chapter, with interesting case examples that provide "diagnostic prototypes" of the individual disorders included in DSM-IV-TR. Self-assessment questions allow the reader to test their understanding of DSM-IV-TR.
