“Clinical Diagnosis and the DSM-5” is an educational video set developed to teach students and professionals from all mental health disciplines and levels of experience.
It features recorded clinical interviews with real patients in order to demonstrate clinical interviewing, and how clinical information is interpreted to formulate different diagnoses according to the DSM-5.
Each interview is followed by an interdisciplinary discussion to illustrate how a psychiatric diagnosis is formulated and how different diagnoses with similar symptoms are distinguished.
What are the key objectives?
The videos will:
- Show you how experts apply DSM-5 diagnostic criteria to real patients to help you understand more about the process of psychiatric diagnosis
- Provide you with practical information about changes in diagnostic criteria and the differences between DSM-IV and DSM-5. These videos teach you how to select appropriate diagnostic codes and modifiers and enhance Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) coding for psychiatric and psychotherapeutic services
