The Handbook provides -The six crucial steps in differential diagnosis that must be considered for each and every patient -27 decision trees that teach you how to go from the most common presenting symptoms to a final diagnosis -62 differential diagnosis tables, each of which provides a head-to-head comparison of a disorder with its differential diagnostic contenders -A unique symptom index for DSM-IV-TR that lists in a convenient form those disorders that you should consider when formulating a differential diagnosis given a particular symptom in the patient's presentation The information provided in the decision trees, the differential diagnosis tables, and the symptom index is rich with information, each format with its own strengths, depending on the needs of a particular clinical situation. By presenting the problem from a number of different perspectives, this Handbook should improve your skill in formulating a comprehensive differential diagnosis.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good learning tool! 26 Oct 2005
By Dr. T. - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am a 2nd year psychiatry resident, and in that developmental period when differential diagnosis starts to become a real tool in your armamentarium. The book is informative and concise. The introductions to, and discussions of the various psychiatric symptoms are very informative and helpful. They are like having an experienced psychiatrist as your personal tutor. It leaves you wishing the discussions were much longer. The first chapter, which discusses the six diagnostic areas that should not be missed in a psychiatric workup, is a MUST READ for every psychiatry resident, and quite frankly, every resident/medical student regardless of the specialty. It is spot-on and uncanny in its accuracy, and will help make almost immediate sense of nearly ANY psychiatric patient. My diagnostic abilities increased dramatically after reading that chapter. Well worth the money, I highly recommend this book.

By R. P. Drewelow - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Very simple, concise book. does not contain all diagnositic criteria per se, but has excellent differentials and algorithms. Makes a good companion resource for anyone who may deal with psychiatric patients.

By Ellen Rodenhauser Rebman - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book can be quite overwhelming to the first time user, but it definitely is a must for anyone studying to go into the field of psychology. It helps one understand and diagnose over 400 different mental disorders.
