CUSTOMER REVIEWS
This is an excellent critique of DSM-5 and psychiatry in general. Written in an engaging style, the book draws readers in. Although it is less than 200 pages, it covers the complex changes in DSM-5 thoroughly and objectively. I highly recommend this book for anyone who will be using the DSM-5. s
