Course Description:
Thirteen years in the making, the DSM-5® is changing the ways clinicians assess and diagnose mental illness. In the face of much controversy, the publication of DSM-5®is requiring new approaches of us all, offering both significant benefits and challenges to current practice.
The new DSM-5® introduces evidence from the last decade of neuroscience and genetic research, and opens the process to international and cultural perspectives. DSM-5® diagnostic processes are intended to allow for greater diagnostic reliability, so that clients are no longer left with long lists of inappropriate or overlapping diagnoses. Substance users and traumatized adults and children are treated with improved understanding. Levels of risk and severity refine diagnostic formulations.
Attend this seminar to incorporate effective use of new and modified diagnostic categories in DSM-5® into your practice, to understand when rediagnosis may be required, and to recognize ethical and reimbursement issues associated with the DSM-5®.
