Description:
After two decades in development and negotiations, the fifth version of the APA’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) is now here. In this workshop, Mehul Mankad will provide an overview of DSM-5 and how to use it in clinical practice. He will explain the goals and rationale of the latest diagnostic system and highlight the categories which have changed most significantly from its predecessor, DSM-IV. Participants will become familiar with the structure of DSM-5 as well as how they can incorporate it into their current practice.
