Description
DSM-5-Text Revision (TR) introduces a number of changes and additions that reflect a significant update to the manual. These include changes to background information, modifications in the criteria sets, and updated ICD-10-CM codes implemented since the publication of DSM-5 in 2013. There is one new disorder added, Prolonged Grief Disorder, as well as two new codes, Suicidal Behavior and Nonsuicidal Self-Injury. The program reviews changes for each of the major diagnostic groups and updates current treatment recommendations relative to applications with children and adolescents. Special attention is paid to developmental, cultural, and family related factors that impact symptom presentation, course and treatment selection. Case examples and diagnostic exercises are used throughout the program to help participants master the use of DSM-5-TR and improve diagnostic accuracy.
