Course Overview

This workshop will focus on the new updates to the DSM as reflected in the DSM-5-TR and provide participants with an opportunity to apply what they have learned. An overview of the purpose of the DSM will be provided, along with highlighting the difference between the DSM-5 and the new DSM-5-TR edition. Participants will learn about the new symptom codes, new specifier changes, and how to use them. Using case vignettes, participants will engage in assessing and diagnosing for various disorders. Case vignettes reflect the presenting issues indicative of the effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic and feature clients with lived experiences that naturally embody intersectionality, diversity, equity, and inclusion.
