DSM-5-TR Insanely Simplified: Unlocking the Spectrums within DSM-5-TR and ICD-10

Easy explanation of a book that is supposed to be simple in the first place. I skipped to page 15 and learned 3 things immediately. I'm studying for the NCMHCE and have been out of grad school, working in the field for a while when the switch came, not only the DSM5 but the actual exam ( I live in Florida) so double whammy. I read the entire book in a few hours and will re-read it again to highlight what I missed. I recommend this for anyone caught between the DSM IV TR and 5 in addition to learning new material,working in the field, and learning how to take a different kind of exam. This little gem of a book along with all my other study materials has already helped lessen my stress and explained in a very practical,yet clinical way how to navigate to changes and make the 5 less menacing and more friendly, like not the dark side..."I can use the force" and actually understand the concept of spectrum. Change is constant,yet it is helpful to know what those changes are and how they affect/effect our world situation. Just my thoughts, everyone has an opinion yet this book has certainly enriched my experience with the DSM 5.

This book simplifies the DSM-5-TR to understand what it is, how to use it, and requirements of its use. Durability, easy to carry, and easy read.

Love the simplified version for quick studying!

Fantastic title. Buser uses an economy of words and ideas to convey, in a light and witty way, complex ideas wedding Jungian/psychoanalytic core concepts with the APA jargon of the DSM-V. I found out about this book through Buser being interviewed on a favorite podcast of mine, Shrink Rap Radio, where he talks extensively about his work and this book. As he says, it is a great companion to new and old therapists transitioning to the new edition, as well as a diagnostic primer to a depth psychological mode of thinking about pathology. The archetypal personality cartoons he offers were an excellent model for me to adapt to a teenage DBT group I was leading. They enjoyed and really got these concepts as a way to introduce a personality theory to justify treatment, and introduce pathology in a neutral, non-blaming fashion to clients, especially young ones. I cannot recommend this title more highly!

good read

I purchased this book based off of another review since I also live in Florida and studying for the licensure exam. I've noticed grammar errors and this book isn't much helpful for licensure. Yes, the book states it's a simplified version but there is better simplified information on Psychology today. I was able to read it within an hour.

Very well written and easy to understand

Great study Guide

It gave the info I was expecting, though, the book is extremely short..I was left wanting more.

Item exactly as described

Useful and easy to understand.

Es muy caro para lo que ofrece. No lo recomiendo.

I like them.
