Brooks Baer – PESI – The DSM-5® for Clinicians: Accurate Diagnosis and Effective Treatment Planning

• Understand the rationale behind the ICD-10 format
• Understand the NOS replacement
• Recognize the implicit bias found in the DSM-5 and how it impacts treatment
• Sharpen your diagnostic skills
• Discover how the DSM writes your treatment plan for you
• Design your own replacement for the 5-Axis system
• Learn how the new PTSD criteria apply to us as providers
• Develop an understanding of the new childhood disorders

The DSM® is possibly the most underutilized tool in mental health. Many clinicians see it as a necessary evil that must be learned in order to bill for services. However, the DSM-5® can be an extremely valuable tool that helps you sharpen your diagnostic skills while bringing clarity and definition to your treatment plans.

This seminar will teach you how to use your DSM® in a way that maximizes your ability to bring healing and growth to your patients. We will discuss the rationale behind all of the major changes, cover the new disorders in detail, and develop a solid clinical understanding of how to address all previously established disorders. This seminar goes beyond simply reviewing lists of symptoms; it explains why the symptoms are on the list and what can be done to help resolve each symptom. Explore the etiology of the disorders and learn to recognize which disorders are caused by nature, which are caused by nurture, and which are caused by adverse life events.

This seminar will help you stand apart from the crowd, as you learn to think about mental disorders in a new way. You will come to understand that mental illnesses are the result of coping and adaptation strategies that have too much intensity. Our job is to find ways to turn that intensity down, so our patients can reach their maximum potential. This recording is guaranteed to increase your understanding of mental illness and equip you to be a more effective therapist.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Innovative Business Model:
   • Embrace the reality of a genuine business! Our approach involves forming a group buy, where we collectively share the costs among members. Using these funds, we purchase sought-after courses from sale pages and make them accessible to individuals facing financial constraints. Despite potential reservations from the authors, our customers appreciate the affordability and accessibility we provide.
2. The Legal Landscape: Yes and No:
   • The legality of our operations falls into a gray area. While we lack explicit approval from the course authors for resale, there’s a technicality at play. When procuring the course, the author didn’t specify any restrictions on resale. This legal nuance presents both an opportunity for us and a boon for those seeking budget-friendly access.
3. Quality Assurance: Unveiling the Real Deal:
   • Delving into the heart of the matter – quality. Acquiring the course directly from the sale page ensures that all documents and materials are identical to those obtained through conventional means. However, our differentiator lies in going beyond personal study; we take an extra step by reselling. It’s important to note that we are not the official course providers, meaning certain premium services aren’t included in our package:
     • No coaching calls or scheduled sessions with the author.
     • No access to the author’s private Facebook group or web portal.
     • No entry to the author’s exclusive membership forum.
     • No direct email support from the author or their team.

   We operate independently, aiming to bridge the affordability gap without the additional services offered by official course channels. Your understanding of our unique approach is greatly appreciated.

Refund is acceptable:

• Firstly, item is not as explained
• Secondly, Item do not work the way it should.
