Designed for mental health professionals by grief expert and founder of The Center for Grief and Trauma Therapy, Dr. Christina Zampitella, PhD, this course provides an in-depth look at the most recent grief-related diagnostic criteria outlined in the DSM-5-TR™.
Together, you’ll explore the historical timelines of grief related criteria using DSM editions and the rationale behind those changes, various disclaimers/coding practices used in past and current editions of the DSM, and even the evolution of prolonged grief disorder (PGD), including its formal introduction in both the DSM-5-TR™ and the ICD-11. You’ll also participate in a discussion of the clinical implications of these diagnostic updates, giving you the chance to get your questions answered and be better equipped to make more accurate differential diagnoses in practice.
