Mastering the DSM-5: Integrating New & Essential Measures Into Your Practice

The DSM-5 is full of useful tools to take our clients "vitals"...but how do you use this new resource to shift from "getting information' to "using the results?"

Mastering the DSM-5 provides a guide for each of the assessment measures, examples of how they can be implemented for various populations and settings, and suggestions for using evaluation tools with clients.

An easy-to-use resource with case studies and examples, including implementation checklists, templates to chart and measure results, and links to formatted Excel spreadsheets.
