Designed for teachers, students, and clinicians, this book presents a broad range of patient vignettes that cover the diagnostic waterfront. Each of the 104 cases is followed by a discussion by an expert clinician, who describes an approach to diagnosis through an exploration of psychiatric and personal history, symptom clusters, laboratory tests, and clinical ambiguities. The discussants also address the important ways in which diagnosis might be affected by such demographic issues as ethnicity, sexual orientation, and gender identity. Anyone interested in understanding the interface between disorder classification and patient diagnosis will find DSM-5-TR Clinical Cases compelling, captivating, and enlightening"--
