ALL DAY WORKSHOPS
NEW HAMPSHIRE
Navigating the New DSM-5
Presented by Gerald
D. Shulman, MA, MAC, FACATA
Wednesday • April 29, 2015
RADISSON HOTEL MANCHESTER DOWNTOWN
700 ELM STREET • MANCHESTER, NH 03101
Learning Objectives
The DSM-5 has generated much controversy, not the least of which is between NIMH and the APA
(developers of the Criteria). This presentation, appropriate for those clinicians who work in addictions
and mental health, will describe the new diagnostic criteria and compare the DSM –IV and the new DSM5. Emphasis will be placed on the new diagnostic category of Substance Use and Addictive Disorders
and mental health disorders including those most likely to be found in co-occurring with substance use
disorders.
Included will be the significant changes of the elimination of the old five Axis diagnostic classification
system, the addition of “cross cutting symptoms” and the movement away from categorical to
dimensional assessment of risk and severity. While this is an important step forward, the reliance on
criteria which are equally weighted obscures the potential for identifying core symptoms and is less
helpful in informing treatment. Specific changes in diagnoses will be presented, including the expansion
of certain diagnoses (e.g., PTSD) and the contraction of others (e.g., Autism Spectrum Disorder). The
implications of the elimination of the substance “abuse” and “dependence” diagnoses will be discussed
and a risk model for determining severity of addictive disorder and treatment interventions will be
presented.
INSTRUCTIONAL LEVEL: Introductory, Intermediate, Advanced
AT THE CONCLUSION OF THIS PRESENTATION PARTICIPANTS WILL BE ABLE TO:
1. Compare the diagnostic criteria for substance use disorders in the DSM-IV and DSM-5.
2. Describe how the DSM-5 categories of Mild, Moderate and Severe created a diagnostic system more
in keeping with the reality of the presentation of mental health and substance use disorders.
3. Describe the changes which have occurred in the Axis classification system.
4. Describe the value of “Cross Cutting” symptoms.
5. Identify the changes which have occurred in the change from the DSM-IV to DSM-5.
