Description:

DSM-5 revised for 2013 has reconceptualized mental disorders with a broader view of the diagnostic process: Age of onset for most disorders are eliminated, making diagnoses possible across the entire lifespan. The category of "NOS" has been eliminated and replaced by specific subsyndromal conditions so that below-threshold presentations can be coded and treated. In addition, classifications and diagnoses have been added, revised or eliminated to reflect current research and clinical practice. A number of new V-codes have been added to reflect complexity of psychosocial circumstances of today's clients. In this course, participants will learn the new categories of disorders as well as all of the new diagnoses added in 2013. They will also learn which diagnoses have been revised, renamed, and reclassified. The course also highlights some of the more common disorders and classifications which have been altered, so that therapists can make use of the new manual immediately.
