Customer Rating: Summary: Very professional and helpful Comment: I am a Marriage and Family therapist and this book provides a great deal of help in doing assessments for mental status of clients. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent timing. Excellent Condition. Comment: I had an effortless purchase and delivery of this item. I was very pleased with the quality of the book and timeliness of delivery from the seller. Excellent. Customer Rating: Summary: checklists Comment: If you are looking for an effective way to ask sensitive questions, this book won't help you. The book is focused on going through checklists of DSM criteria. It does not differ much from checklists of symptoms that the patients can fill out on their own.
I recommend the SCID (structured clinical interview for the DSM). The questions here are very effective for screening for symptom dimensions, and for further probing. For a more comprehensive psychiatric interview (not limited to symptom review), I found Harry Sullivan's book very helpful during and after training. Customer Rating: Summary: Helpful In Clinical Practice Comment: Book can be helpful for sorting out why a clinican may have picked one disorder from another. Also can help with evidence based criterion for diagnosising. Customer Rating: Summary: Interview Guide for Evaluating DSM Comment: Interview Guide for Evaluating Dsm-IV Psychiatric Disorders and the Mental Status Examination
Great tool for clinicians in diagnoses and assessment.
