Alternatives to the DSM and Implications for Treatment

Participants in this workshop will become familiar with approaches to diagnosis that are more dimensional, inferential, contextual, and clinically oriented than the DSM and ICD taxonomies. The upcoming third edition of the Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual will be presented in some depth, with emphasis on its clinical applications, but there will also be some attention to the Power Threat Meaning Framework, the HiTOP model, the DSM Alternative Personality Disorder model, and other alternative approaches to classifying personality and psychopathology.
