Morrison presents the spectrum of diagnoses in DSM-5 in an accessible, engaging, clinically useful format. Demystifying DSM-5 criteria without sacrificing accuracy, he includes both ICD-10-CM and ICD-9-CM codes for each disorder, as well as the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) Scale (from DSM-IV-TR), with a clear rationale for its continued use. Discussions of sample cases demonstrate how to arrive at the diagnosis and rule out other likely possibilities.
