The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) has served as the definitive diagnostic tool for mental health conditions for several decades. It is foundational to the practice of counseling and the basis on which we classify clients' symptomology. This training will equip attendees with a knowledge-base of the history of the development of the DSM, significant changes made in the newest edition, DSM-5-TR, as well as the research base and rationale for making these changes.
Learning Objectives:
- Explore the history and development of the DSM
- Review recent significant changes made to the DSM-5-TR
- Discuss research base and rationale for updates to the DSM-5-TR
