WHAT HAS CHANGED AND WHY?

8 a.m. - 12:20 p.m.
Southern Regional AHEC, Gerald Strand CE Auditorium
1601 Owen Drive, Fayetteville, NC 28304
In affiliation with Duke University Medical Center
Part of the NC AHEC Program
Target Audience
This program is appropriate for mental health professionals who are already familiar with DSM-IV and basics of
diagnosis. This includes: social workers, psychologists, counselors, marriage and family therapists, substance abuse
professionals and all interested others.
Program Description
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5) was released in May, 2013. This
four-hour program will review what has changed from DSM-IV to DSM-5, incorporating both newly included
diagnoses and changes to diagnostic criteria for existing disorders. Most importantly, it will explain the rationale
underlying the changes, since this provides a basis for participants to think critically about the new disorders, as
contrasted with simply memorizing criteria. Participants will have an opportunity to practice diagnosing some
sample cases using DSM-5.
Program Objectives
Upon completion of this workshop, mental health participants will be able to:
• Describe the changes made in the DSM-5;
•Explain the rationale for changes made in the DSM-5;
•Identify and distinguish between different disorders, complete a differential diagnosis, and write a diagnostic
statement for a client; and
•Demonstrate an understanding of ethical issues in assessment and diagnosis of mental health conditions.
