- Diagnostic And Statistical Manual Of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition - ONLINE
The American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) is a classification of mental disorders with associated criteria designed to facilitate more reliable diagnoses of these disorders. With successive editions over the past 60 years, it has become a standard reference for clinical practice in the mental health field. Since a complete description of the underlying pathological processes is not possible for most mental disorders, it is important to emphasize that the current diagnostic criteria are the best available description of how mental disorders are expressed and can be recognized by trained clinicians. DSM is intended to serve as a practical, functional, and flexible guide for organizing information that can aid in the accurate diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders. It is a tool for clinicians, an essential educational resource for students and practitioners, and a reference for researchers in the field. - Using the DSM-5 and ICD-10: The Changing Diagnosis of Mental Disorders — A Lecture 6:20:18 minThis information-packed video seminar highlights changes from the DSM-IV® to DSM-5®.
