In Using DSM-IV, Dr. Anthony LaBruzza and Jose Mendez-Villarrubia offer the needed supplement to DSM-IV. Their book, a veritable road map for DSM-IV, explains the technical language and hierarchical classifications of DSM-IV while it demonstrates how the system can be adapted to a clinical approach. In cogent prose replete with examples, the authors show how to use DSM-IV to arrive at accurate diagnoses that include, rather than forsake, dynamic conceptualizations of clients' psychological functioning. The authors review each DSM-IV diagnostic category, helping the reader to see what clients with a specific pathology look like, what is actually needed to qualify for the disorder, and what similar disorders to rule out. Because theirs is a fundamentally humane and clinical approach to mental illness, LaBruzza and Mendez-Villarrubia suggest that any interview, even a mental status exam, should be a helpful experience for the client.

This attunement to individuals also enables LaBruzza and Mendez-Villarrubia to consider issues of cultural diversity. Both authors have extensive experience working with Hispanic populations and have included an in-depth chapter on assessing Hispanic clients. In this new era of managed health care, the demand for uniform, accurate diagnoses has never been higher. Facility with the DSM-IV system is imperative.
