Pocket Guide to the Icd-10 Classification of Mental and Behavioural Disorders With Glossary and Diagnostic Criteria for Research Icd-10 Dcr-10

The use of a widely accepted diagnostic classification is vital for the effective treatment of psychiatric patients, and is essential in research. This pocket-book version of Chapter V of the 10th revision of the International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10) will facilitate both practice and research. It provides a quickly accessible and easy-to-use source of information about the new classification. The book has been compiled with a range of users in mind, including psychiatrists of all grades of seniority and experience, researchers, medical records staff and data analysts.

Compiled by a psychiatrist, this pocket-book is practical and clinical in its approach, and brings together in one place all major aspects of the description and diagnosis of psychiatric disorders.Cooper, John E. is the author of 'Pocket Guide to the Icd-10 Classification of Mental and Behavioural Disorders With Glossary and Diagnostic Criteria for Research Icd-10 Dcr-10' with ISBN 9780880489836 and ISBN 0880489839.
