If you only need the buying answer

The current print listing at $98.79 is already below every other sampled option in this snapshot. The sampled eTextbook is $115.32, the sampled marketplace used option starts at $137.36, and a sampled retail hardcover is much higher. That makes the current print listing the strongest straightforward value route here.

This is exactly the kind of psychiatry text where the usual print-versus-digital tradeoff disappears. The print copy is not only durable; it is also the lowest visible route. That matters because books in this area are often used for layered study: coursework, board-style review, and later clinical clarification.

What this book actually teaches

The American Psychiatric Association Publishing Textbook of Anxiety, Trauma, and OCD-Related Disorders is a specialist reference on diagnosis, differential framing, and treatment across related anxiety-spectrum conditions. Its value is in helping readers compare disorders and management approaches with more nuance than a short chapter or summary can provide.

Because the book is built as a true reference rather than a disposable survey, ownership makes unusually strong sense when the price already undercuts the sampled alternatives.

When print is worth keeping

In this snapshot, print is simply the strongest value route. Since the current hardcover is already cheaper than the sampled alternatives, the main question is whether this is a topic you want to keep nearby. For the likely audience of this book, the answer is often yes.
