Rating: - The binding broke
Even though book arrived shrink wrapped and quickly, the first time I opened it, pages began to break out of the book's binding. It appeared to have been re-glued at some point. I would not have bought the book if I had known about the binding's condition. It wasn't mentioned in the summary.

Rating: - Misrepresented product
I thought I was purchasing an authentic DSM IV. To my great dismay, this is not an original publication it is a very poorly made photocopied and/or scanned version. I question if this is allowed under copyright laws. Very disappointed with this purchase.

Rating: - "Must Have"
A definite "must have" book for any student in a counseling program. Even if not "required", this book makes writing reports so much easier because then you know EXACTLY what is required for deifferent diagnosis. I suggest all counseling/psychology students buy this book as early on in their studies as possible.
