DSM-5 Changes. Some of the most important and welcomed DSM-5 changes are the elimination of the multiaxial system which is now grouped into categories of shared characteristics and dropping the Global Assessment Functioning (GAF) scale.
When will the DSM-5-TR be released? As of right now, the new DSM-5-TR is set to be released on March, 18th 2022. You can pre-order your copy of the DSM-5-TR on Amazon here.
The new DSM-5 classification includes two new categories of brain dysfunction: neurodevelopmental disorders with onset in the developmental period and major neurocognitive disorders (e.g. Alzheimer's Disease) with onset in later life [2,3]. Moreover, a developmental focus is sustained throughout the DSM-5 Manual for each disorder described.
You can also access the DSM-5 as an eBook directly through the library catalog, and while browsing or searching the complete PsychiatryOnline Database. PsychiatryOnline is typically accessed from the Fuller Library database page. PsychiatryOnline Premium provides online access to a rich, well-rounded collection of psychiatry and psychology books.
