About this title

From the Inside Flap:

This accessible CD-ROM contains the full text of DSM-IV-TR. Because it is made up of simple HTML files with embedded links, it works well with screen readers used by people with vision and physical impairments that make it difficult for them to interact with a keyboard or mouse.

When the CD is inserted into the CD-ROM drive, a short audio file automatically starts. That file provides further instructions for using the CD. After the sound file plays, the table of contents for DSM-IV-TR automatically opens, offering links to introductory material, chapters covering the DSM diagnostic categories, appendixes, and the index. Each page begins with links to primary headings on the same page.

Since the DSM-IV® was published in 1994, we've seen many advances in our knowledge of psychiatric illness. This Text Revision incorporates information culled from a comprehensive literature review of research about mental disorders published since DSM-IV® was completed in 1994. Updated information is included about the associated features, culture, age, and gender features, prevalence, course, and familial pattern of mental disorders.

The DSM-IV-TR® brings this essential diagnostic tool up-to-date, to promote effective diagnosis, treatment, and quality of care. Now you can get all the essential diagnostic information you rely on from the DSM-IV® along with important updates not found in the 1994 edition.

Stay current with important updates to the DSM-IV-TR®: ? Benefit from new research into Schizophrenia, Asperger's Disorder, and other conditions? Utilize additional information about the epidemiology and other facets of DSM conditions? Update ICD-9-CM codes implemented since 1994 (including Conduct Disorder, Dementia, Somatoform Disorders)
