Subject: Manitoba Psychological Society Spring Workshop on DSM-V
On Friday, June 7, 2013, the Manitoba Psychological Society is holding
its 2013 Spring Institute titled Developments in Mental Disorder
Diagnosis: DSM-IV, DSM-V, and the Road Ahead. This day long workshop
featuring Dr. Robert Krueger, a Hathaway Distinguished Professor in the
Department of Psychology at the University of Minnesota and a member of
the DSM-V Personality and Personality Disorder Working Group, will
address the following learning objectives:
1. To understand major aspects of the history of psychiatric
classification that led to the approach taken in DSM-IV.
2. To understand notable changes between DSM-IV and DSM-V, such as
the removal of the multiaxial system.
3. To understand both the DSM-IV (copied in DSM-V Section II) and
DSM-V Section III approaches to classifying personality disorders, as
well as the conceptual underpinnings of these approaches.
4. To understand notable limitations of the DSM paradigm, current
efforts to develop more empirically-based alternatives (e.g., the NIMH
RDoC initiative), and the reasons why new empirically-based approaches
are needed.
Please find attached a brochure (including a synopsis of the Institute
