Hey guys so I just wanna ask those psychology students during the release of DSM 5. What did your professor in college have done to discuss Abnormal Psychology on the class?
P.S. I'm kinda upset when I knew (after I graduated) that my professor in AP didn't knew that DSM 5 is already on the run and he still taught us the DSM IV-TR.
I am in the process of applying for a number of post-graduate clinical fellowships, all of which require a brief psychosocial assessment including a diagnostic review; none of which specify whether to use DSM-IV or V. I was wondering what you thought?
I was trained on IV in my MSW program and will be tested on it in my licensure exams. However, I wonder if it might be more appropriate to use V in future professional ventures, as that is the wave of the future (insurance and billing-wise.)
Would I be amiss in doing both?
Hey all! Aspiring clinical psychologist here. Very interesting in the DSM and not currently in school, but I wanted to know...should I spend a little more and get the V or save the money and stick to the IV-TR?
Edit: Thanks for the responses. Got my B.A. in Psych and am planning on continuing into grad school within 1. 5 years, so I think I'll just get the V. Thanks again.
I need directed to a legitimate source for DSM 5 tabs. All of the websites I go to are only showing DSM IV-TR tabs. They may be legitimate but slow on their ability to update their website, but I don't want to purchase something for the old edition. Has anyone ordered new tabs and got the correct ones? Link?
I need to have the DSM section on schizophrenia for a paper I'm writing but I recently moved and my copy is in storage. Could somebody please scan the chapter (should only be a few pages) and email it to me? Thanks!
- EDIT - received!
Hi guys, I am confused as to how I cited the DSM-IV-TR in text. Is it ok to do it as per usual and give the author and date? e.g. (American Psychiatric Association, 2000)?
Hi all,
Sorry if this has been asked before. (I did search and didn't see it.) I just learned that there will be a DSM update released in March, and it will now be the DSM-5-TR.
https://psychnews.psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/appi.pn.2022.1.20
Lots of updates, including the addition of Prolonged Grief Disorder, updates based on reviews for racism and discrimination, and updates to gender descriptors and terminology, some of which seem long overdue.
I also see this:
>Diagnostic criteria have been revised for several disorders, primarily for clarification. These include changes in the criteria sets for the following diagnoses: > >Autism spectrum disorder
Does anyone know what these changes are expected to be? I couldn't find anything looking online. I know it's publishing in March, but they already have the text for the PGD available, so I was wondering if there is any info on anticipated changes. Anyone know?
I’m at the very beginning of my journey to get diagnosed and in my research of the criteria and how my symptoms fit, i discovered the page for the DSM-V TR. i’ve been very interested in psychology my whole life so the idea is exciting to me, but along with that they’re revising A LOT of diagnostic criteria. they’re supposed to revising the diagnostic criteria for asd and while i don’t want to get mine or anyone else’s hopes up i’m hoping it has more specifications and makes it easier to be diagnosed. the text revision is set to be released in march of this year and i haven’t seen anyone talk about it, have any of you? also i’d love to hear all your thoughts on this!
thanks in advance to anyone who replies :)
Hello everyone. Saw that DSM text revision is coming out. Besides being another expensive purchase that certainly doesn't cost that much to print ($127.50 for resident/fellow APA members and $136 for APA members), what's new? I saw that "prolonged grief disorder" is being added, but surely there is stuff I'm missing to warrant an entire republishing of DSM.
She never explicitly said it but I was reading some of her resources that she sent to me, and she seems to be using a rebranding of the "multi-axial model" from the DSM-IV as her "guiding philosophy for treatment."
I don't inherently have anything against this but I was wondering if it's normal to refer back to previous editions in treatment, or if this is a red-flag?
*Also, I'm completely aware most people don't know about this topic but I'm still curious what y'all think.
Do I need to know the DSM-IV axis for ap psychology exam 2021
In the DSM-V (used after 2013), schizophrenia subtypes are no longer used: In the DSM-IV, the criteria for the paranoid schizophrenia subtype were (in addition to the meeting the overall criteria for schizophrenia) "Paranoid Type (295.30): A type of Schizophrenia in which the following criteria are met:A. Preoccupation with one or more delusions or frequent auditory hallucinations.B. None of the following is prominent: disorganized speech, disorganized or catatonic behavior, or flat or inappropriate affect." Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK519704/table/ch3.t22/
So could one have been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia without paranoia, such as having one or more delusions that are not paranoid in nature and/or frequent auditory hallucinations that do not cause or involve paranoia?
Imo, many doctors are SO in love with drugs, and prescribing more, it is a form, of mania, obsession . .
They cause harm, are in-human, and don't listen to the patients, and they are dangerous, psychotic . .
Maybe we should make a list, of doctors, that are especially bad, so patients can share them, for reference . .
Do you have a doctor, that blindly harms you, over-medicates and, is ' psychotic ', himself, out of touch with reality, how the drugs work, and generally lie, manipulate, or other . . .
90 % of the doctors I've had, seemingly can't complete a single session, without pushing pills, higher dosage, more drugs . . Is it a disease, that belongs with depression, mani, personality disorders . .
Over-prescription personality disorder
Lying-about-side-effects Mania . .
<3 . .
I've never met a doctor, that was blind to psych drug harm, loved prescribing more, and was generally ruthless or, soul-less . . <3
Doctors can ALSO be sick, I've seen it often, they lie, cause harm and, break down patients, with chemicals, unduly . .
Narcissitic Over-prescriber . .
Anti-social chemical obsession personality disorder / psychosis . . <3 Never met a doc, that didn't have at least ONE, of these disorders, imo . . <3
I apologize if this is a dumb or malformed question. I have always wanted to read queer theory, particularly as it relates to trans issues, and am finally getting around to it. I have been reading some Communist organization debates, the Stanford Encyclopedia or Philosophy entries on Queer theory and feminist attitudes toward Transgenderism, and im planning on reading Gender Trouble by Judith Butler, and some book, not sure which yet, by Leslie Feinberg.
All this is to say, I don't know anything yet but am very interested. I have seen many a YouTube debate wherein a "pro" trans person will cite the inclusion of Gender Dysmorphia in the DSM-IV as a short of proof of legitimacy in the scientific community. I was curious if there had been any similar opposition from LGBT people to removing homosexuality from the DSM-II on the grounds that is inclusion could be cited as a form of legitimacy in the same way that gender dysmorphia is. Also, are there contemporary 'non-terf' writings that argue for the removal of gender dysmorphia (or the decoupling of transgenderism and gender dysmorphia) from the DSM-IV?
Feel free to call my question stupid, but please explain why it is stupid.
I'm doing a presentation on the autism spectrum disorder merge between the DSM-IV and DSM-5. I have access to the DSM-5 through my college, but I can't find a copy of the DSM-IV except as a physical book at one of the campuses I don't go to.
Anyone know where I can get like a free PDF of it or something?
> Dear Editor, > > The diagnostic criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have been reformulated and narrowed for ICD-11 [1] to six core symptoms across the clusters re-experiencing, avoidance, and hyperarousal. In comparison, PTSD criteria in DSM-IV consist of sixteen symptoms across three clusters, in DSM-5 of twenty symptoms across four clusters, and in ICD-10 of thirteen symptoms across three clusters. > > The new ICD-11 diagnosis Complex PTSD (CPTSD) requires symptoms of PTSD and in addition disturbances of self-organization: affect dysregulation, negative self-concept, and interpersonal problems. Impairment represented in the disturbances of self-organization domains is not necessarily associated with trauma-related stimuli. CPTSD typically follows prolonged or multiple events, but diagnosis does not require a certain type and frequency of a traumatic event...
>. >. >In conclusion, the current findings indicate that the ICD-11 PTSD criteria are less sensitive than other diagnostic manuals and may not, therefore, identify all traumatized and impaired young people with high psychological distress. This might lead to restricted access to eligible treatment for some young people since ICD is mainly used in clinical practice. ICD-11 does not as yet provide developmentally sensitive adaptations or wording of PTSD and CPTSD criteria, and this topic needs to be discussed critically. Furthermore, differences between diagnostic manuals might lead to limited comparability of treatment studies and to reduced relevance of research for practitioners.
