I wrote an overview of the changes in DSM-5 at http://www.dsm-5diagnosis.com and will keep the article up to date here, I will also keep you informed of any DSM-5 related continuing education opportunities and please let me know if you become aware of any so we can pass them along, thanks
I will be posting alerts to DSM-V (aka DSM-5) continuing education updates that you can get APA approved continuing education for (as well as some other interesting courses that aren’t), I also have started reviewing books and relevant research you may be interested in and compiling a list of research and resources for DSM-5 diagnoses (check out a list of resources at http://www.worldwidementalhealth.com and/or http://www.dsm-5diagnosis.com)
I also am really behind on the updates for the main directory, to all of you who have e-mailed me suggestions for course providers for the site, I still have your submissions and I will get them up ASAP, thank you again, and as always remember, you are also free to register and submit posts to this blog as well related to your own reviews of courses or even suggestions for places to look for mandatory continuing education (MCE) (although of course CE isn’t mandatory in some states, just a nice, ethical idea).
I was interested in the concept of the Depressive Personality Disorder and the research leading up to the publication of DSM-V expected in May, 2012 (and the ICD-11 is coming as well) and so I’ve decided to write a book with some of the information I’ve come up with. There will likely be continuing education deals related to the material that I will be able to tell you about if you keep up with this blog or register for updates related to the book at http://www.depressivepersonality.com Thanks!
