James Morrison, MD, is Affiliate Professor of Psychiatry at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland. His long career includes extensive experience in both the private and public sectors. With his acclaimed practical books--including DSM-5-TR Made Easy; Diagnosis Made Easier, Third Edition; The First Interview, Fourth Edition; and others--Dr. Morrison has guided hundreds of thousands of mental health professionals and students through the complexities of clinical evaluation and diagnosis.
"DSM-5-TR Made Easy is a master class in modern psychopathology.
Morrison's meticulously detailed reviews of each major mental
disorder provide the reader with an informative and accessible
guide for understanding the DSM. Through relevant case examples,
Morrison’s text not only enhances our understanding of symptoms,
overlapping syndromes, and common comorbid conditions, but also
elevates our approach to diagnostic formulations and
conceptualizations. This exceptional book is an authoritative
resource for clinicians and students at all levels and an ideal
text for teaching the next generation of mental health
professionals."--David H. Klemanski, PsyD, MPH, Department of
Psychiatry, Yale University
"This book supports mental health professionals across their
careers, from medical students and psychology interns who are just
learning the diagnostic criteria to seasoned psychiatrists who need
the newest DSM updates in our constantly evolving field. The book’s
structure allows for its use as a quick-reference guide, whether to
check criteria for a rare diagnosis or to review a common disorder
and the varied ways it can present. Regardless of why you are using
DSM-5-TR Made Easy, Morrison makes the process enjoyable (and
validating!) through his self-aware style, vivid case
presentations, and awareness that diagnoses don’t always fit into
precise boxes."--Meredith Gansner, MD, attending psychiatrist,
Boston Children's Hospital
"If DSM-5-TR is the encyclopedia, this book is the manual. Morrison
shows you real diagnosing--the thinking processes, integration of
data, case formulation for treatment, and so on--not just assigning
labels and ICD-10-CM codes. Reading this book is like sitting with
a wise and experienced clinician showing you how to weigh and
balance the evidence. Even the introductory explanations of how to
use the book are excellent guides for teachers and students and
will greatly enhance learning. Over 130 superbly constructed cases
show exactly how Morrison applies the DSM-5-TR rules and logic. The
cases bring the criteria sets and checklists of the DSM to life.
This book is suitable as a text in introduction-to-the-profession
courses in clinical fields. Anyone reading it will feel like (and
will become) a smarter clinician."--Edward L. Zuckerman, PhD,
author of Clinician's Thesaurus-The book does a wonderful job of
explaining the clinical criteria and walking the reader through the
reasoning behind the diagnosis….The conversational style allows
readers to better digest and put into context diagnostic features
of disorders found in the DSM for use in a clinical
context.--Doody's Review Service, 2/16/2024
