Description
<p><b>Make a Smooth Transition from IV to 5 Without Pulling Your Hair Out</b><br>
It's true. There's a new DSM, May 2013, and it is here to stay. The fifth edition of the American Psychiatric Association's <i>Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders</i> (DSM-5) contains crucial changes in both organizational structure and diagnostic criteria. Mastery of the DSM-5 is essential for all mental health practitioners as we assess, diagnose, and treat our clients. In addition, many insurance companies require correct use of DSM diagnostic criteria for reimbursement of services.<br>
<br>
Don't get left behind. This one-day workshop is designed to help you to pinpoint the new features of DSM-5, with emphasis on adult conditions. Dr. Kenneth Carter will teach you to take this information and apply the changes between DSM-IV and DSM-5 correctly, and comprehend what's new, what's changed, and what conditions are no longer listed to better serve your practice and your clients.</p>
