Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders DSM-IV-TR (Text Revision)  Uk  Can  "Since 1992, there have been many advances in knowledge of psychiatric illnesses. The DSM-IV-TR spans the bridge between DSM-IV and DSM-V, to ensure that the most relevant new information since the DSM-IV literature review in 1992 was incorporated and to enhance the educational value. Specifically, new information on associated features, including associated laboratory and physical findings, has been added for many of the disorders. Sections on prevalence, gender/age/culture, course and familial pattern have also been revised to reflect research findings. More comprehensive differential diagnoses have been incorporated for many of the disorders."

Treatments of Psychiatric Disorders  Uk  Can  by Glen O. Gabbard "The second edition of Treatments of Psychiatric Disorders is the treatment companion to DSM-IV. It is a compendium of state-of-the-art treatments of all major psychiatric disorders.
The textbook covers all major treatment modalities strengthened by supporting literature. This book will serve as the definitive treatment text and will be used as a reference by all practicing psychiatrists. Psychiatric residents and medical students who are learning about psychiatric treatment or preparing for board exams will find this book indispensable.

Cited in the Supplement to Sheehy. The first edition (1989) was published in four volumes as a task force report of the American Psychiatric Association, and became the standard reference on treatment in American psychiatry. The present edition is reduced in size, largely by confining the contributions to treatment issues, with the assumption that readers will familiarize themselves with diagnostic issues by reading DSM-IV. All of the major DSM-IV disorders are covered and all of the major treatment modalities, in 93 contributed chapters by scholars and clinicians who provide a clinically relevant synthesis of the contemporary knowledge in each area."

DSM-IV internet companion:  A Complete Guide to Over 1500 websites offering information on Mental Illness, keyed to DSM-IVby M. Robert Morrison & Robert F. Stamps (A good resource for both laymen and mental health professionals. Also includes resources such as email groups, etc. One caution though, is that this book came out in 1998 and the internet is growing rapidly, so be sure you check out some newer sites on the Internet as well). "The authors of this directory of Web sites related to DSM-IV disorders have provided a review of the relevant sites and have reviewed them in terms of their usefulness. There are chapters on general psychology and psychiatry sites and the rest is devoted to specific sites in the DSM-IV category."
