The guide addresses the goals of the interview, provides an efficient structure for learning how to conduct one, reviews the screening questions, and then explains how DSM-5 impacts the interview. The sixth chapter, the core of the guide, walks the reader through a complete diagnostic exam that includes the follow-up questions for each DSM-5 disorder class.
The book is for beginners learning the format and flow of the diagnostic interview and for seasoned clinicians conducting an interview consistent with DSM-5's significant revisions. The Pocket Guide to the DSM-5 Diagnostic Exam is a pragmatic and concise resource for diagnosing a person in mental distress while establishing a therapeutic relationship.

Confused about how DSM-5 will change the clinical interview? I was too, so I wrote this book, using DSM-5 criteria, to show how you could conduct a thirty-minute diagnostic interview that screened for every DSM-5 category of mental disorder while building a therapeutic alliance. This book not only includes the official DSM-5 criteria, it shows you how to use them in your practice, with interview questions tied to the specific criteria for each disorder.
In addition, the book reviews the goals of a diagnostic interview, alliance-building, changes in DSM-5, alternative diagnostic systems, and more.
I direct the adult inpatient psychiatry service at Denver Health, where I interview patients daily with medical students, psychiatric residents, practicing psychiatrists, primary care physicians, psychologists, social workers, nurse practitioners, and therapists. This book grew out of an award-winning curriculum I teach at the University of Colorado and is designed for practitioners and students in all disciplines.
