DSM03 DSM-5 - Personality Disorders (inactive)
Prior to the DSM-5, personality disorders were coded on Axis II.  But now the DSM-5 has done away with the use of “axes” for diagnostic coding, and the good news is there is a new conceptualization of personality disorders away from undesirable or negative personality features and towards a conceptualization of personality disorder as an impairment in both self-organization and interpersonal relating.
Course Objective
This program provides clinicians with the opportunity to learn about:
• Describe how the conceptualization of personality disorders has changed.
• Understand the purpose of the DSM for clinicians.
• Name and describe the six domains of the World Health Organization disability Assessment Schedule.
• Define General Personality Disorder and describe two areas in which this disorder’s patterns manifest.
Intended Audience
Nurses, Psychologists, Social Workers, Counselors, Marriage and Family Therapists, Addiction Therapists
