Required and easy to fit in your Day Timer

I finally broke down and purchased this handy little reference book. I have the large hardcover DSMIV and finally had to stop hauling it between offices. This little gem fits in my Day Timer. It is always within reach. A must have if you have to diagnose for insurance, mental health agencies, or EAPS. No more wondering where the Big Book is (in my car, other office, or home). Once another therapist borrowed it for a week without letting me know. No need to spend Big Book prices either. Please note that you still need access to the Big DSMIV for more detail than this Quick Reference offers.

Lies Flat on My Desk

It's small enough to toss into a briefcase or purse. It lies flat on my desk, making it easier to use. Has all the diagnostic criteria, and the basics of a five axis diagnosis. Includes basic GAF info. Index. All I ever need to know from the DSM I find in here.

Unless you have a good reason (you're enrolled in a psychopathology class) to use the full-up DSM-IV, do yourself and your muscles a favor and get this one.
