Using the DSM-5® and ICD-10:

The Changing Diagnosis of Mental Disorders

June 23, 2015

Thirteen years in the making, the DSM-5® is a revolutionary publication and will change the way clinicians assess and diagnose mental illness and substance use disorders.  The manual will require new approaches, offering both significant benefits and challenges to current practice.

The new DSM-5® is touted as opening the process to international and cultural perspectives and incorporating evidence from the last decade of neuroscience, genetic and twin study research.  The diagnostic process is changed to allow for greater precision and reliability of diagnoses.  Traumatized adults and children are treated with improved understanding.  Levels of risk and severity will refine all diagnostic formulations, along with consideration of cross cutting symptomatology. Measurement-based diagnosis is here to stay.  

Attend any combination of the three seminars below to learn about DSM-5® changes for children/adolescents, adults, and people with substance use disorders. The seminars describe how DSM-5® incorporates a new understanding of diagnostic categories and may require rediagnosis of clients whose long standing diagnoses simply disappear, or reassign diagnoses to categories with different reimbursement implications.

Target Audience: All Clinical Staff.
