Overview

Fully updated and restructured with 70% new material, PDM-3 presents important advances in multiaxial mental health diagnosis from a psychodynamic perspective, in dialogue with neuroscientific and cognitive-behavioral perspectives. Used worldwide, this authoritative manual offers an empirically based, clinically useful alternative or supplement to DSM and ICD descriptive and symptom-oriented diagnoses. PDM-3 guides the practitioner to develop a multilayered dimensional understanding of each patient, leading to a rich case formulation and flexible treatment plan. Leading international experts systematically address personality functioning, mental capacities, and symptomatic impairment in infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age, including jargon-free descriptions and clinical examples. The companion website provides additional case illustrations and five downloadable and reproducible PDM-derived rating scales.
