This is an incredible diagnostic text and is an evolved clinicians alternative to the DSM-5. Although it specifically outlines and connects psychodynamic theory to the DSM-5 in a specific section, it goes layers deeper than the DSM through its unique axes. The components give rise to richer understandings of the people we treat, rather than simply pinpointing a clustering of symptoms. What use is it to know where the bumps and bruises are? This text is a guide to the etiology of such wounds and through a deep understanding offers therapists a guide into the psyche of one who carries such ails, providing clinicians different ways of being as one navigates through the rich, compassionate, and scientifically based descriptions of various personality styles, organization, and domains of functioning . Throughout the text you can hear the down to earth and easily understandable psychodynamic writings of Nancy McWilliams. This text will not only give you more compassion but can help you to diagnose more accurately, conceptualize in multidimensional ways, and most importantly guide your treatment in a way that connects and creates depth.

I’ve been studying the first version of this book and found it very different to the DSM and ICD-10, In a good way that is! I haven’t yet received the newer version of PDM but I can garantee you I will be glued to reading it! Highly recommend PDM!! Brings a different perspective to mental health and illness.
