Course Description:
Controversy … change … and one of the most anticipated events in mental health history is here. The DSM-5 (a registered trademark of the American Psychiatric Association) is going to change the way you view, diagnoses and treat mental illness.
During this seminar you will gain an understanding of concepts that motivated the changes that are in the DSM-5®. National speaker, author and DSM® expert, Jack Klott, will discuss the impact these changes will have on certain diagnoses and, most important, on the way you diagnose. The DSM-5® is the most revolutionary DSM® publication since 1987 (DSM-III-R®). Diagnostics will be examined and explored for the purpose of enhancing your case conceptualization and understanding of your client’s behaviors. Specific focus will be given to those diagnostic categories and classification that received the most dramatic reformulations and controversy. In many ways, this book will enhance our understanding of the person we treat and go beyond a focus on behaviors. The essential focus of this seminar will be the DSM-5®’s application to treatment.
