Description
In Spring 2022, the American Psychiatric released the newest version of the diagnostic manual, DSM-5-Text Revision (TR). The new manual includes updated background information for each disorder, code changes since the release of DSM-5 (2013), and revisions to diagnostic criteria. There is one new disorder added, Prolonged Grief Disorder, as well as new codes for Suicidal Behavior and Nonsuicidal Self-Injury. The program provides an overview of these changes and highlights diagnostic and treatment issues for disorders particularly prevalent among children and adolescents. Case studies are presented to illustrate the diagnostic process and provide practice using the new manual.
