Review mostly based on the chapters 11-25. I read the first 10 chapters some months ago, some were vague, but less problematic.
Some chapters are great: clear subtitles between relevant parts, good examples and the same types of numbers (percentages with percentages, first the most common disorder building down to the least common,...). Awesome.
Others are confusing: long texts with irrelevant titles or 4 types of subtitles only differentiated by font changes, mixing content from one part to another (prevalence in the treatment part, even when there's a separate space for prevalence), no to vague (sometimes even unrelated) examples, jumbling all types of numbers: percentage + 1/x + absolute numbers, the treatment chapter almost exclusively based on 1 disorder while the chapter covers 10... Wtf.
Between chapters there's also a lot of differences between information provided per title. For example 'Diagnostiek' -> some chapters provide explicit names of tools used for each disorder, others provide an example of how it works with do's and dont's, which reads more like an opinion (Ch 25 is a great example). Feels like a different editor for each chapter uses their personal view on what they deem relevant. Very confusing to study this way.
I got the DSM-5-TR to get a clearer overview on the chapters I found lacking. Most of it is a straight copy from the DSM so it's almost weird they would mess up that structure. I would almost prefer to study directly from the DSM, almost.
