DSM-5 Clinical CasesEach of DSM-5 Clinical Cases' 19 chapters features cases chosen to demonstrate one or more DSM-5 diagnoses, and each of the cases (103 in all) is followed by a short diagnostic discussion. Some cases were chosen to highlight common diagnoses, while others were chosen to highlight the ambiguities and controversies that have made DSM-5 discussions so hotly contested. The case presentations may include a lot of information, they do not necessarily include all of the information that might substantiate a diagnosis. Some patients are transparently honest; others present information that is uncertain, incomplete, misleading, or untrue. Some patients brought themselves for an outpatient evaluation; others were brought in by spouses, friends, or the police. In some instances, a mutually agreed-upon diagnosis can be quickly determined. In others, key bits of information might not be revealed until the end of the presentation. In still others, the diagnosis may not be clear until the discussant has clarified what might have appeared to be inchoate or contradictory bits of information. In other words, the case presentations reflect common clinical experience.
