Synopsis

Knowing the DSM-5-TR criteria is not the same as knowing how to diagnose.

Every clinician eventually meets the patient who doesn't fit the textbook: the "depression" that turns out to be bipolar disorder, the "psychosis" caused by a medical illness, the anxiety that is really trauma. This handbook teaches the step between memorizing criteria and making an accurate diagnosis: clinical reasoning.
Written by physician and educator Chloe Buckley, MD, the DSM-5-TR Diagnostic Skills Handbook shows how experienced clinicians think: what to ask, which clues matter, how to rule conditions in and out, and how to avoid common diagnostic mistakes.
Inside you'll find:

• A step-by-step method for differential diagnosis you can use with any patient
• Practical interviewing techniques, including sample questions for sensitive topics
• A complete guide to the mental status examination and what each finding suggests
• Clear coverage of every major diagnostic category, updated for the DSM-5-TR text revision
• 60+ realistic clinical case vignettes with fully worked reasoning
• Decision flowcharts, comparison tables, and quick-reference appendices
• Guidance on culture, medical mimics, suicide and violence risk, and case formulation
• Review questions at the end of every chapter with explained answers
• A glossary, an interview question bank, and duration and threshold tables

Whether you are a psychiatry resident, medical student, psychiatric nurse practitioner, physician assistant, psychologist, counselor, or social worker, this book will help you interview with purpose, reason through complex cases, and document your conclusions with confidence.
Ideal for clinical training, board and licensing exam review, and everyday practice.
Build the diagnostic skill that criteria alone can't teach.
