Your first year of clinical work is hard enough without flipping through a 1,000-page manual mid-session prep.
This 16-page printable quick reference distills the diagnoses you'll actually encounter — from mood and anxiety disorders to trauma, personality disorders, and the newest DSM-5-TR additions like prolonged grief disorder — into clean, scannable entries you can review in minutes.
For every diagnosis, you get:
Key features in plain language (no dense criteria-speak)
Duration & threshold cheats — the "2 weeks vs. 6 months" details that trip everyone up
Differentials & rule-outs so you stop second-guessing yourself
Clinical pearls — the stuff supervisors say once and you scramble to write down
Screening tools & mnemonics for every domain, from the PHQ-9 to the PCL-5
Plus two bonus reference tables (duration thresholds + go-to screeners at a glance) and Twelve Pearls for the Intern Year.
Written by a licensed therapist who remembers exactly what it felt like to freeze during a diagnostic intake. Designed for grad students, interns, and early-career clinicians who want to walk into supervision prepared — not panicked.
Instant PDF download. Print it, tab it, keep it in your bag.
For educational use — always verify criteria in the DSM-5-TR and consult your supervisor.
