In March 2022, the American Psychiatric Association released the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5-TR), an updated version of the DSM-5. The DSM is regarded as the authoritative guide to the diagnosis of mental disorders and is used by clinical social workers and other health care professionals in the United States. The purpose of this presentation is to familiarize social workers with the changes found in the newly released DSM-5-TR.
