Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual, Second Edition: PDM-2, ed. by Vittorio Lingiardi , Nancy McWilliams, The Guilford Press, June 22, 2017
Now completely revised (over 90% new), this is the authoritative diagnostic manual grounded in psychodynamic clinical models and theories. Explicitly oriented toward case formulation and treatment planning, PDM-2 offers practitioners an empirically based, clinically useful alternative or supplement to DSM and ICD categorical diagnoses. Leading international authorities systematically address personality functioning and psychological problems of infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age, including clear conceptualizations and illustrative case examples. Purchasers get access to a companion website where they can download and print five reproducible PDM-derived rating scales in a convenient 8 1/2" x 11" size. The website also features additional case illustrations and assessment resources. Sponsoring associations include the International Psychoanalytical Association, Division 39 of the American Psychological Association, and the American Psychoanalytic Association.
