Don’t wait until it is too late! The time is NOW to get trained on DSM-5 changes to schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders!


Full Description:
Mental health professionals will be expected to accurately diagnose according to DSM-5 criteria by October 2014.

This webinar highlights the critical diagnostic updates to the psychotic disorders in the DSM-5. This includes criterion that have been changed, removal of subtypes, addition of specifiers, and new terminology used in schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders. Participants have the opportunity to review a case study and make a determination about proper diagnosis.
