The CEU provider PDR offers a self study course based on this book. I thought the cost reasonable. The post test is comprehensive. PDR offered the Amazon link.

This is not a "how to" book. There are no detailed instructions on how to apply DSM 5 in interviewing and diagnosis. Excellent guides will appear for DSM 5 as they did for earlier versions, with specific directions and cogent vignettes. They will be essential. Dr. Paris gives us something just as essential, the historical and political context of DSM 5. Nuts and bolts are important. So is the big picture.
I have not yet read DSM 5, so cannot comment on the accuracy of Dr. Paris' judgment, but his perspective on III, III-R, IV and IV-TR, is so spot on that I trust him on DSM 5.
When he describes clinicians ignoring DSM algorithms, relying instead on their sense of what a specific diagnosis looks like, I recognize myself. He captures fully the discrepancy between the research based, detailed criteria promulgated by the authors of DSM and the short shrift given these criteria by very busy clinicians in rendering diagnoses.
I usually find anything written about DSM better than any medication or mantra to induce sleep, but his summation of the interest groups who scrutinize DSM to pursue their own agendas: insurance and pharmaceutical companies, lawyers and judges, patient advocates, the general public, as well as professional cliques which shape each version of DSM, kept me reading into the night. It helps that Dr. Paris clearly writes in his own voice. This book is not a product of committee deliberations.
His presentation of the scientistic ideology of DSM heartened me. I am even older than Dr.
