“Tobin, Schmitt, and House have developed a comprehensive companion to DSM-5-TR that will be indispensable for all school-based mental health clinicians. The six types of notes throughout each chapter, such as Professional Notes and IDEA Notes, make it easier to conceptualize each diagnosis and to identify implications for practice. The emphasis on child and adolescent development provides a much-needed perspective on diagnosis, while also offering clarity on best practices, roles, and ethical obligations in school settings.”

—Diana Wildermuth, PhD, LPC, NCC, Lecturer in Educational Practice, University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education


“A most welcome, essential addition to the school psychologist's toolkit. One of the central roles of school psychologists is to conduct diagnostic assessments in order to plan and implement interventions for children referred for a range of psychological challenges. The expert authors thoroughly describe the purpose, structure, and use of DSM-5-TR, with a focus on applications in the school setting, while also providing a critical analysis of this diagnostic system. This is an invaluable guide for trainees and practitioners.”

—Donald H. Saklofske, PhD, Adjunct Research Professor,Department of Psychology, University of Western Ontario, Canada
