DSM-5-TR Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision (Paperback)

The DSM-5-TR, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision, in paperback is the American Psychiatric Association’s current diagnostic manual, used by psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors, social workers, and nursing clinicians.

DSM-5-TR is the standard classification of mental disorders in the United States. It sets out the diagnostic criteria, specifiers, and ICD-10-CM codes that clinicians use for assessment, documentation, and billing, and it is the text that graduate programs and licensing boards expect students to know. The paperback edition is the one most students and community clinicians buy: the full manual, at a lower weight and cost than the hardcover.

Why this edition

The Text Revision is not a cosmetic update. Every disorder entry was reviewed, prevalence and risk-factor text was rewritten, and the manual added prolonged grief disorder along with new codes for suicidal behavior and nonsuicidal self-injury. Discussions of culture, racism, and discrimination were expanded across diagnoses. If you are still working from the 2013 DSM-5, the codes alone are reason enough to move to DSM-5-TR.
