PDFs of Diagnostic Manuals

I’m a firm believer in not hiding information behind paywalls and subscriptions, so I’ve downloaded the entire DSM-5-TR and put it online for everyone to access.

(It doesn’t include the appendix, since that’s not in a format I can easily save. But that’s only for coding and insurance purposes, so you’re not missing out on much!)

I’ve also included the Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual (PDM-2), and don’t forget that anyone can access the ICD-11 here for free!

The PDM-2 uses the terms syndrome, pattern, style and type interchangeably in order to avoid the term disorder, since personality is a spectrum.

Converse manifestation = A different way the personality syndrome manifests, as a defense mechanism.

The PDM-2 uses psychopathic instead of antisocial.
