DSM-5-TR 4-Book Set: DSM-5-TR + Desk Reference + Made Easy + Simplified Reference

This DSM-5-TR four-book set pairs the full Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5-TR) with three companion references: the Desk Reference to the Diagnostic Criteria, DSM-5-TR Made Easy, and a simplified quick-reference guide, all in paperback.

The DSM-5-TR from the American Psychiatric Association (APA) is the diagnostic manual used across U.S. mental health care. On its own it is dense. This set adds the layers clinicians and students actually use day to day: the pocket-sized desk reference for criteria lookups, James Morrison's Made Easy for case-based explanations of each diagnosis, and a condensed guide with summaries and charts for rapid review.

What's included

• Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5-TR), paperback
• Desk Reference to the Diagnostic Criteria from DSM-5-TR, paperback
• DSM-5-TR Made Easy: The Clinician's Guide to Diagnosis by James Morrison
• DSM-5-TR Simplified Reference, a condensed guide with criteria summaries, comparison charts and ICD-10-CM codes

Who it's for

Graduate students in counseling, clinical psychology, social work and psychiatric nursing who need the manual for coursework and practicum. Candidates preparing for the NCE, LPC, LCSW, PsyD comprehensive exams or USMLE psychiatry content. Working clinicians who want the full manual on the shelf and a faster reference at the desk.

Why this set

Buying the pieces separately is the usual path, but they are designed to work together. The Text Revision updated criteria and text for more than 70 disorders and added prolonged grief disorder, and every book in this set reflects the TR, not the 2013 DSM-5. The desk reference handles quick criteria checks, Made Easy explains what a presentation looks like in a real patient, and the simplified guide is the study tool.
