Can I download sections from the online DSM-5?

No, the DSM-5 cannot be downloaded as an entire e-book. Individual sections cannot be downloaded either.  You need to have an internet connection to access the DSM-5 and read it online.  

View the video tutorial for the Online DSM-5 for an extra tip about downloading and printing pages. 

 

I need help from a librarian.  What should I do?

You can get help from a librarian several ways:

  • Schedule a virtual appointment with a librarian: https://esu.libcal.com/appointments/ 
  • Chat with a librarian: Go to the Kemp Library website and look for the red Ask Us! button on the right hand side. The Ask Us! button is active when an ESU librarian is available to live chat. 
  • Go to the Contact Us page: Use the email form on the right side of the webpage to email a librarian.
  • Call the Research Assistance phone number at (570) 422-3594.

The current hours for Research Assistance are posted on the Library Services LibGuide here: https://esu.libguides.com/spr2020/ra 

 

How is the DSM-5-TR (Text Revision) different from the DSM-5?

DSM–5–TR includes fully revised text and references, updated diagnostic criteria and ICD–10–CM codes since DSM–5 was published. Learn more from PsychiatryOnline's DSM-5-TR Fact Sheets: https://www.psychiatry.org/psychiatrists/practice/dsm/educational-resources/dsm-5-tr-fact-sheets
