mesy_mark's review against another edition
5.0
Keeping in mind that this book uses the DSM IV.
For 200 pages capturing 10 disorders, it is pretty good. It lays out symptoms of a case and with some, how it can be ambiguous in which the symptom matches the story. Like in the autism case, we don't get an extreme case for example. I also liked how the authors decided to use a male in the case of BPD, a condition women tend to be diagnosed in greater portion than male. IT is just the little things like changing minor characters that show that things are different than other textbooks I have read. I also liked the biological and psychological approach to seeing each case. Overall it just a great text.
