DSM-5-TR Manual + Desk Reference to the Diagnostic Criteria + Page Table Set (Paperback)

This set combines the paperback DSM-5-TR (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision) with the Desk Reference to the Diagnostic Criteria From DSM-5-TR and a color page table insert, for clinicians who want the full manual at the desk and the criteria alone in the session.

The Desk Reference is the American Psychiatric Association’s own condensed edition: every diagnostic criteria set and code from the DSM-5-TR, without the descriptive text, in a small paperback that fits a coat pocket or a clipboard. Paired with the complete manual, it covers the two situations clinicians actually face, reading up on a disorder and checking criteria while a client is in the room.

What's included

• Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5-TR), paperback, American Psychiatric Association Publishing
• Desk Reference to the Diagnostic Criteria From DSM-5-TR, paperback, American Psychiatric Association Publishing
• Color page table / index tab mapping insert for the main manual

Who it's for

Therapists, licensed clinical social workers, and counselors in private practice or agency settings who diagnose under DSM-5-TR, psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners doing intake assessments, and residents and PMHNP students who need a criteria reference on rounds. It also suits candidates for USMLE Step 3, ABPN boards, and state licensing exams who want the criteria in compact form for review.

Why this set

The Desk Reference is the most practical DSM companion because it is written by the same publisher from the same text, so the criteria match the manual word for word. Compared with our set that includes the spiral Classification, this version gives you the criteria rather than only the code list, which is what most therapists use in session. The page table insert helps navigate the main manual quickly.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the DSM-5-TR Desk Reference and the full manual?

The Desk Reference contains only the diagnostic criteria and codes. The full manual adds the descriptive text on features, prevalence, course, risk factors, and differential diagnosis.

Can I use the Desk Reference alone for diagnosis and billing?

It contains the current ICD-10-CM codes and criteria, so it works for coding. For a thorough assessment you still want the full manual at hand.

Are both books the 2022 Text Revision?

Yes. Both the manual and the Desk Reference in this set are DSM-5-TR editions.
