4 out of 5 stars Very professional and helpful   October 11, 2008
I am a Marriage and Family therapist and this book provides a great deal of help in doing assessments for mental status of clients.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent timing. Excellent Condition.   September 19, 2008
I had an effortless purchase and delivery of this item. I was very pleased with the quality of the book and timeliness of delivery from the seller. Excellent.


2 out of 5 stars checklists   September 7, 2008
If you are looking for an effective way to ask sensitive questions, this book won't help you. The book is focused on going through checklists of DSM criteria. It does not differ much from checklists of symptoms that the patients can fill out on their own.

I recommend the SCID (structured clinical interview for the DSM). The questions here are very effective for screening for symptom dimensions, and for further probing. For a more comprehensive psychiatric interview (not limited to symptom review), I found Harry Sullivan's book very helpful during and after training.


5 out of 5 stars Helpful In Clinical Practice   September 7, 2008
Book can be helpful for sorting out why a clinican may have picked one disorder from another. Also can help with evidence based criterion for diagnosising.
