DSM-5-TR Paperback + Pocket Guide to the Diagnostic Exam + Page Table Insert (Set)

This DSM-5-TR set pairs the paperback Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision, with Abraham Nussbaum’s Pocket Guide to the DSM-5-TR Diagnostic Exam and a color page table insert for quick navigation.

The DSM-5-TR, published by American Psychiatric Association Publishing, is the diagnostic reference used across US mental health care, insurance billing, and training programs. The text revision updated criteria and descriptive text, added prolonged grief disorder, aligned codes with ICD-10-CM, and expanded cultural and equity content. The Pocket Guide is the companion clinicians reach for during an actual interview: it turns the manual’s criteria into a structured, step-by-step diagnostic exam you can run in a 30-minute or 15-minute visit.

What’s included

• Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5-TR), paperback, American Psychiatric Association
• The Pocket Guide to the DSM-5-TR Diagnostic Exam by Abraham M. Nussbaum, MD
• Color page table and index tab mapping insert for locating chapters and matching page references across printings

Who it’s for

Psychiatry residents, psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) students, clinical psychology and counseling graduate students, and licensed therapists who want both the full manual and a practical interviewing guide. It suits new clinicians building their first reference shelf and programs that require the DSM-5-TR for coursework or practicum.

Why this set

The full manual is where the criteria live; the Pocket Guide is how you apply them in a live exam. Buying them together means the interview structure and the diagnostic language are consistent from day one. Compared with our larger seven-piece DSM-5-TR bundle, this is the lean option: no desk reference, spiral classification, or simplified study guides, just the manual, the exam guide, and the navigation insert.
