DSM 5
[tab:Overview]
The classification and diagnostics criteria of mental disorders last major revision was in 1994. The newly published DSM-5 will be the standard for the clinical diagnostic process as of January 1, 2014 or sooner for some entities. The focus of this program will be to educate mental health professionals with the changes made in this manual from the previous editions to be able to use proper diagnostic terminology for their patients or clients.
This program is intended to provide an introduction to the new manual and associated resources rather than an in-depth course on the new diagnostic system including:
- Brief history of development of the manual, definition of a mental disorder as well as organization of the manual.
- Major changes from DSM IV.
- New mental disorders and dropped or combined disorders.
- An overview of most of disorders according to chapter organization.
- New approaches to diagnosis and assessment including cross cutting measures and the dimensional.
- Approaches which allow clinicians to identify significant symptoms which are not part of the diagnostic criteria for the main disorder.
- And to measure the magnitude of certain symptoms. The dimensional approach to personality disorders will be discussed as part of DSM.
- 5′s emerging measures and models.
- A general overview of online assessment tools available at: http://www.psychiatry.org/dsm5
Upon completion of this program participants should:
- Understand the key changes made to the diagnostic criteria in DSM-5 compared to DSM IV.
- Talk about the philosophy and organization of the DSM-5 as well as the new definition of a mental disorder.
- Identify new measures and tools available in DSM-5.
- Describe an emerging framework for understanding personality disorders that may influence future directions in diagnosis of these disorders.
- You may expect the presenters to use a slide set from the APA’s Train the Trainers Course presented at the APA Annual Meeting in May 2013 as the main focus with opportunity for questions and discussion.
