Topic: Introduction to the DSM-5
This 3 hour training session is designed to meet the needs of practitioners and students in the field of Mental Health Counseling by providing an introduction to the Diagnostic & Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), which was published by the American Psychiatric Association on May 27, 2013. This workshop will highlight significant changes from the previous edition (DSM-IV-TR), and focus on what LMHC's and other mental health professionals need to know to incorporate this framework into their practice.
