Psychiatric Clinical Manual with DSM-IV Diagnostic Criteria: Assessment, Admitting and Restraint Orders, Progress Notes and the Psychotic, Mood and Anxiety Disorders

A psychiatric ward manual that runs from the clinical evaluation of the psychiatric patient and the admitting orders for schizophrenia, bipolar I disorder, major depression, alcohol and opiate dependence and schizoaffective disorder, through the restraint orders and notes, the psychiatric progress notes, the discharge note and summary and psychological testing. The body then sets out the DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for each disorder - the psychotic disorders from schizophrenia, schizoaffective and schizophreniform to brief psychotic and delusional disorder, the mood disorders from the major depressive, manic, hypomanic and mixed episodes to major depressive disorder, dysthymia, bipolar I and II and cyclothymic disorder, and the anxiety disorders - and closes on the references and the selected DSM-IV codes.
