Course Description:
After close to 30 years of categorical evaluation of symptoms of mental illness, the American Psychiatric Association’s decision to fundamentally change how behaviors and symptoms of human expression are diagnosed has set off a flurry of controversy. The DSM-5 (a registered trademark of the American Psychiatric Association) is going to change the way you view, diagnose and treat mental illness. Practical implications of this new approach include potential for services being denied where the diagnostic criteria are more stringent, to others being included where the criteria have broadened.
The new DSM-5® is intended to bring diagnosis of mental disorders into the 21st century. Some of the primary goals are to standardize the assessment, data collection, and evaluation of symptoms of mental illness across the fields of research, education and service-delivery.
As a clinician, your income may depend on your ability to correctly identify symptoms and dimensional functioning issues in your clients as well as evaluating for suicide risk and substance use across the development spectrum. Are you ready?
