The Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual: PDM-2, edited by Vittorio Lingiardi and published by The Guilford Press in June 2017, offers a comprehensive guide to understanding and diagnosing psychodynamic disorders. This second edition, with ISBN-10 1462530540 and ISBN-13 978-1462530540, spans 1078 pages, providing in-depth descriptions of diagnostic criteria, assessment methods, and therapeutic approaches for a wide range of mental health conditions. Spanning dimensions of 7 x 1.88 x 10 inches, this manual is an essential resource for clinicians, researchers, and students interested in psychodynamic theory and practice.
