[acb-hsp] DSM-IV-TR

[Sharon]

I called American Psychiatric Association. I told them I was blind and
needed it. I requested it be provided. I don't think I paid for it, but I
may have. You used to be able to get all the casebooks as well, but you can
only get them online by purchasing a yearly subscription, whereas sighted
people pay for the books once.

Last post on this.

Hi.  Well, we have heard quite a few sources where one can obtain the
DSM-IV-TR (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th
Edition, Text Revised).

I do not know, however, if one can merely call APA (American Psychological
Association) or APA (American Psychiatric Association) and obtain it in any
format free.  This book has quite a cost associated with it in any format.

I do know you can purchase it in HTML, PDF or print for a cost.

I do know you can get it at Allied Learning or Bookshare free, or for your
membership,

and I do know I got it because I'm a student and so have it.

I can tell you, however, that unless you wish to read something very dry and
boring,  the book is essential a pain in the tailend to read.  It is not
easy in any case to find things.

I am attaching (and I hope attachments go through) a word doc of
alphabetical listings.  It is by far easier to use.  Then you can take any
one of them, say alcohol dependence.  and type it in with DSMIV TR after it
in your fave search ingine and it will pop up from the DSMIV TR.

You need that extension because otherwise, you'll possibly get DSM 3 or DSM1
(which can all be interesting) but could lower your grade dramatically, or
cause you to mis-diagnose someone dramatically as well, at least based on
today's standards --for whatever diagnoses may / may not be worth..
