Main description:

*From the bestselling author of DSM-5 Made Easy and Diagnosis Made Easier, a new hands-on tool to practice the art of differential diagnosis.
*Chapters present 26 in-depth cases; interactive prompts throughout (multiple choice, fill-in-the-blanks) advance the reader toward a diagnosis.
*Morrison, who excels in making complex information clear, shares opinions and caveats about diagnosis in asides he calls "Rants."
*Informative tables help the reader quickly reference the interviewing techniques, diagnostic principles, and diagnoses discussed in each case.
*Ideal supplementary reading for graduate evaluation courses in schools of psychology, psychiatry, nursing, counseling, or social work.
*Excellent resource for new clinicians or for residents in clinical rotations or studying for board exams.
