A must for mental health professionals

As a nurse lecturer in mental health nursing I have had recourse to this text since my student days. I would never have got through my training without its concise, definitive information on mental disorders. J. Soap PhD may write a lovely book about "Schizophrenia", and J. Doe MSc may have a wonderfully descriptive text on "Depression", but don't waste your time on someone's opinion of what a disorder is or might be - the ICD-10 offers nothing less than the definitive, universally accepted (okay, so the Yanks have their DSM-IV, they're welcome to it!) descriptions of exactly what these disorders are. The language used is very carefully thought out and there is even a section in the introduction explaining how careful the compilers have been to use language which is as neutral as possible, taking great care not to mindlessly use terms loaded with the philosophical leanings of one camp or another. A beautiful work, no mental health professional can credibly be without it.

A comprehensive and accessible series of diagnostic criteria

As with any psychiatric classification system the ICD-10 is not flawless, however, it allows us as clinicians to discuss psychopathological phenomenon using the same language. The various clinical categories are encompassed with ten blocks of clinical descriptions, which allow the user easy access, and quick reference.

In addition, brief notes are supplied in relation to debatable issues such as 'separation of acute and transient psychotic disorders from schizophrenia'. It is interesting to note that whilst the ICD-10 covers the same clinical categories as the DSM-IV-TR, it is approx a third of the size, presenting a more focused format. A must for all mental health professions.
