The Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis II Personality Disorders (SCID-II) is an efficient, user-friendly instrument that will help researchers and clinicians make standardized, reliable, and accurate diagnoses of the 10 DSM-IV Axis II personality disorders as well as depressive personality disorder, passive-aggressive personality disorder, and personality disorder not otherwise specified. Now compatible with DSM-IV, the interview questions have been redesigned to reflect the subject's inner experience. This instrument begins with a brief overview that characterizes the subject's typical behavior and relationships and elicits information about the subject's capacity for self-reflection. It then considers each of the personality disorders in detail.
The User's Guide provides instructions on how to use the SCID-II effectively. It contains sections describing the rationale and structure of the SCID-II and a detailed item-by-item commentary on the SCID-II. A sample case is also included to help clinicians learn to use the SCID-II.

Specifically adapted from the research standard for Axis I structured clinical interviewing for use in clinical settings, the SCID-I covers those DSM-IV diagnoses most commonly seen by clinicians and includes the diagnostic criteria for these disorders with corresponding interview questions. The SCID-I is divided into six self-contained modules that can be administered in sequence: mood episodes; psychotic symptoms; psychotic disorders; mood disorders; substance use disorders; and anxiety, adjustment, and other disorders.

Treatment Companion To The Dsm-iv-tr Casebook

It is easy to understand the enduring popularity of the DSM Casebooks. They bring DSM diagnostic criteria to life using real-world cases, they familiarize practitioners with different types of patients they would otherwise not encounter in their work or studies, and they help teach the principles of differential diagnosis. Beginning with the DSM-III Casebook in 1981, they have consistently proven second in popularity only to the DSM itself.
Yet the DSM Casebooks focus almost exclusively on diagnosis -- and not on treatment issues.
This practical companion volume to the DSM-IV-TR Casebook takes us a step further. Here, for the first time, case studies include not only diagnosis, but also in-depth discussions by world-renowned experts of state-of-the-art approaches to treatment.
Taken from the best-selling DSM-IV-TR Casebook, these 34 fascinating case studies cover a wide variety of psychiatric disorders: alcohol dependence, Alzheimer's disease, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, pedophilia, schizophrenia, somatization disorder, and many others.
This volume ? Includes a discussion of both the psychiatric diagnosis and treatment approaches with each case description.? Brings together a world-class group of experts who provide their personal perspectives on how they would manage treatment for the specific patient and the general principles of treating that disorder. ? Highlights the fact that there are multiple approaches to treating the same disorder by including experts with widely differing treatment orientations to provide contrasting perspectives in several of the cases. 
Designed for easy reading, this volume presents cases alphabetically by diagnosis, each followed by detailed references, and concludes with four indexes that list cases by name, discussant, diagnosis, and subject.
This meticulously detailed volume of dynamic real-life case studies is simply a "must read" for all mental health care professionals interested in expert opinion on today's treatment approaches. Psychiatric students, educators, and practitioners -- as well as social workers, nurses, medical physicians, and interested laypersons -- will find this unique volume of inestimable value in their day-to-day work.
