DSM-IV-TR stands for which of the following?

• A. Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition
• B. Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision
• C. Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Primary Edition, Text Revision
• D. Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision

Answer: (B)

DSM-IV-TR stands for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision. The IV shows it is the fourth edition, while the TR indicates there was a textual update to that edition—revisions to descriptions and criteria without a whole new edition being issued. This label distinguishes it from later versions like DSM-5 or DSM-5-TR, and from any form that would omit the “Text Revision.” The other options either refer to the wrong edition or omit the textual revision part, which is essential to this terminology.
