Evaluating the DSM-5

 
The DSM-5 states that the “DSM-5 is designed to better fill the needs of clinicians, patients, families, and researchers for a clear and concise description of each mental disorder organized by explicit diagnostic criteria, supplemented, when appropriate, by dimensional measures that cross diagnostic boundaries, and a brief digest of information about the diagnosis, risk factors, associated features, research advances, and various expressions of the disorder” (p. 5). You will be using these diagnostic descriptions and categories throughout this course in order to make diagnoses, and you will continue to refer to them as a mental health professional. In this Assignment, you will look at a general overview of the DSM.
