King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Questions About Professional Identity “As counselors, one of the major questions of our times is ‘Who are we’” (Hendricks, 2008, p. 259)? “What is the difference between being a mental health counselor and a social worker or marriage and family therapist?” (Gerig, 2007, p. 6) 7 “What type of clientele should we serve? What counseling methodologies should be employed by the counselor? What is the goal of the profession of counseling” (Palmo, 2006, p. 52)? DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Questions About Professional Identity Myers, Sweeney, and White (2002, p. 399) 8 How does our identity converge with and diverge from that of other mental health professionals? Where is our niche, and how can this niche be emphasized and marketed to various public sectors? How are our specialty areas defined, and how do they relate to professional counseling in general? DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Clinical Competence 9 DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Clinical Competence What is Clinical Mental Health Counseling? UMHCA (2011) 10 "Clinical mental health counseling promotes optimal wellness for individuals, couples, families, and groups throughout the lifespan. Those educated and trained as clinical mental health counselors treat as well as prevent mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders through mental health assessments, diagnosis, prevention and treatment plans, and psychotherapeutic counseling interventions.“ AMHCA (2011) Standards for the Practice of Clinical Mental Health Counseling DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Clinical Competence Vocational Rehabilitation September 30, 2011: 11 “USOR has determined that when we are paying for psychological testing, evaluation, assessment, and other activities leading to a DSM diagnosis, we will do so with the highest level of professional credential, education, and training. Our standard is a licensed Ph.D. level psychologist, or licensed medical doctor. I have reviewed the most current mental health licensing laws on DOPL. I find that the law does not allow LPC's, LCSW's, or Substance Abuse Counselors to conduct psychological testing, evaluation, leading to DSM diagnosis. If the profession, as a profession, has information otherwise, I would be happy to sit down with their professional organization and discuss and reconsider. Until then our standard is our standard.” DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Clinical Competence Mental Health Professional Practice Act Scope of practice – Limitations – PAGE 16 (1) A licensed clinical mental health counselor may engage in all acts and practices defined as the practice of professional counseling without supervision, in private and independent practice, or as an employee of another person, limited only by the licensee's education, training, and competence. Clinical Mental Health Counselor Licensing Act Rule 12 (H) a minimum of two semester or three quarter hours in psychometric test and measurement theory; (I) a minimum of four semester or six quarter hours in assessment of mental status including the appraisal of DSM maladaptive and psychopathological behavior DSM 5 - Jason H.

DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Clinical Competence ACA 2005 Code of Ethics Section E: Evaluation, Assessment, and Interpretation Introduction E.1.a. Assessment 14 Counselors use assessment instruments as one component of the counseling process, taking into account the client personal and cultural context. Counselors promote the well-being of individual clients or groups of clients by developing and using appropriate educational, psychological, and career assessment instruments. The primary purpose of educational, psychological, and career assessment is to provide measurements that are valid and reliable in either comparative or absolute terms. These include, but are not limited to, measurements of ability, personality, interest, intelligence, achievement, and performance. E. 5. Diagnosis of Mental Disorders DSM 5 - Jason H.

King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS DSM 5 18 DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS DSM-IV-TR Why diagnose? Most common diagnostic myth? 19 “A common misconception is that a classification of mental disorders classifies people, when actually what are being classified are disorders that people have. For this reason, the text of the DSM-IV (as did the text of DSM-III-R) avoids the use of expressions such as “a schizophrenic” or “an alcoholic” and instead uses the more accurate, but admittedly more cumbersome, “an individual with Schizophrenia” or “an individual with Alcohol Dependence.” (DSM-IV-TR, 2000, p. xxxi) DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS DSM 5 Backlash The National Institute for Mental Health has launched a plan to replace the DSM-5 with a new “Research Domain Criteria (RDoC)” project 20 incorporating genetics, imaging, cognitive science, and other levels of information Stating that the DSM is little more than a dictionary, that the DSM criteria are unreliable, and that those diagnosed with mental disorders “deserve better,” NIMH Director Dr. Thomas Insel made the announcement this past week With its 1.5 billion dollar budget, NIMH is the major source of mental health research in the United States DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS DSM 5 Dimensional assessments Better recognizes the complexity of the interface between psychiatry and medicine Defines disorders on the basis of positive symptoms distressing somatic symptoms plus abnormal thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in response to these symptoms Organizational Changes 21 The proposed framework for DSM-5 re-orders the current manual’s 16 chapters based on underlying vulnerabilities as well as symptom characteristics The chapters are arranged by general categories such as neurodevelopmental, emotional and somatic to reflect the potential commonalities in etiology within larger disorder groups Such changes are aimed at facilitating more comprehensive diagnosis and treatment approaches and encourage research across diagnostic criteria DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS DSM 5 Work Groups 22 Clarify the boundaries between mental disorders to reduce confusion of disorders with each other and to help guide effective treatment Consider “cross-cutting” symptoms (symptoms that commonly occur across different diagnoses) Demonstrate the strength of research for the recommendations on as many evidence levels as possible Clarify the boundaries between specific mental disorders and normal psychological functioning DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS DSM 5 What is the most significant change? 23 Roman numerals have been attached to DSM since the second edition of the manual was published more than four decades ago But in the 21st century, when technology allows immediate electronic dissemination of information worldwide, Roman numerals are especially limiting DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS DSM 5 New definition of mental disorder 24 A behavioral or psychological syndrome or pattern that occurs in an individual That reflects an underlying psychobiological dysfunction The consequences of which are clinically significant distress (e.g., a painful symptom) or disability (i.e., impairment in one or more important areas of functioning Must not be merely an expectable response to common stressors and losses (for example, the loss of a loved one) or a culturally sanctioned response to a particular event (for example, trance states in religious rituals) That is not primarily a result of social deviance or conflicts with society DSM IV-TR definition of mental disorder Mental Disorder unfortunately implies a distinction between 'mental' disorders and 'physical disorders' that is a reductionistic anachronism of mind/body dualism. A compelling literature documents that there is much 'physical' in 'mental disorders' and much 'mental' in 'physical' disorders Mental Disorders can generally be categorized as a clinically significant behavior or psychological syndrome or pattern that occurs in an individual and that is associated with present distress or disability or with a significantly increased risk of suffering death, pain, disability, or an important loss of freedom DSM 5 - Jason H.

King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Anxiety Disorders 37 DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Anxiety Disorders Agoraphobia, Specific Phobia, and Social Anxiety Disorder (Social Phobia) Deletion of the requirement that individuals over age 18 years recognize that their anxiety is excessive or unreasonable 6-month duration, which was limited to individuals under age 18 in DSM-IV, is now extended to all ages This change is based on evidence that individuals with such disorders often overestimate the danger in “phobic” situations and that older individuals often misattribute “phobic” fears to aging Instead, the anxiety must be out of proportion to the actual danger or threat in the situation, after taking cultural contextual factors into account Intended to minimize overdiagnosis of transient fears Panic Disorder 38 Situationally bound/cued, situationally predisposed, and unexpected/uncued is replaced with unexpected and expected panic attacks DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Anxiety Disorders Agoraphobia This change recognizes that a substantial number of individuals with agoraphobia do not experience panic symptoms Endorsement of fears from two or more agoraphobia situations is now required, because this is a robust means for distinguishing agoraphobia from specific phobias Criteria for agoraphobia are extended to be consistent with criteria sets for other anxiety disorders (e.g., clinician judgment of the fears as being out of proportion to the actual danger in the situation, with a typical duration of 6 months or more) Social Anxiety Disorder (Social Phobia) “Generalized” specifier replaced with a “performance only” specifier 39 problematic in that “fears include most social situations” was difficult to operationalize distinct subset of social anxiety disorder in terms of etiology, age at onset, physiological response, and treatment response DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Anxiety Disorders Separation Anxiety Disorder Core features remain mostly unchanged Wording of the criteria has been modified to more adequately represent the expression of separation anxiety symptoms in adulthood For example, attachment figures may include the children of adults with separation anxiety disorder, and avoidance behaviors may occur in the workplace as well as at school Diagnostic criteria no longer specify that age at onset must be before 18 years, because a substantial number of adults report onset of separation anxiety after age 18 Selective Mutism 40 DSM 5 - Jason H.

King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Obsessive Compulsive and Related Disorders Clinical utility of grouping these disorders in the same chapter “With poor insight” specifier refined to allow a distinction between individuals with good or fair insight, poor insight, and “absent insight/delusional” obsessive-compulsive disorder beliefs Reflects the increasing evidence that these disorders are related to one another in terms of a range of diagnostic validators “Tic-related” specifier New disorders 42 Hoarding disorder Excoriation (skin-picking) disorder Substance-/medication-induced obsessive-compulsive and related disorder Obsessive-compulsive and related disorder due to another medical condition DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Obsessive Compulsive and Related Disorders Body Dysmorphic Disorder Diagnostic criterion describing repetitive behaviors or mental acts in response to preoccupations with perceived defects or flaws in physical appearance added A “with muscle dysmorphia” specifier added 43 consistent with data indicating the prevalence and importance of this symptom reflects growing literature on the diagnostic validity and clinical utility of making this distinction in individuals with body dysmorphic disorder The delusional variant of body dysmorphic disorder no longer coded as both delusional disorder, somatic type, and body dysmorphic disorder DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Obsessive Compulsive and Related Disorders Hoarding Disorder Available data do not indicate that hoarding is a variant of obsessivecompulsive disorder or another mental disorder evidence for the diagnostic validity and clinical utility of a separate diagnosis of hoarding disorder Hoarding disorder may have unique neurobiological correlates which reflects persistent difficulty discarding or parting with possessions due to a perceived need to save the items and distress associated with discarding them associated with significant impairment Excoriation (Skin-Picking) Disorder 44 AKA: Dermatillomania, neurotic excoriation, pathologic skin picking compulsive skin picking, or psychogenic excoriation “Repetitive and compulsive picking of skin which results in tissue damage” DSM 5 - Jason H.

King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Trauma and Stressor-Related Disorders Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Stressor criterion (Criterion A) is more explicit Criterion A2 (subjective reaction) eliminated Diagnostic thresholds lowered for children and adolescents separate criteria for children age 6 years or younger Now four symptom clusters in DSM-5 1. Reexperiencing 2. Avoidance 3. Numbing includes new or reconceptualized symptoms & persistent negative emotional states 4. Arousal and reactivity 49 Now with persistent negative alterations in cognitions and mood includes irritable or aggressive behavior and reckless or self-destructive behavior DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Trauma and Stressor-Related Disorders Reactive Attachment Disorder DSM-IV subtypes emotionally withdrawn/inhibited and indiscriminately social/disinhibited is now two DSM-5 distinct disorders 1. Reactive Attachment Disorder dampened positive affect more closely resembles internalizing disorders essentially equivalent to a lack of or incompletely formed preferred attachments to caregiving adults 2. Disinhibited Social Engagement disorder 50 result of social neglect or other situations that limit a young child’s opportunity to form selective attachments more closely resembles ADHD may occur in children who do not necessarily lack attachments and may have established or even secure attachments DSM 5 - Jason H.

King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Dissociative Disorders Derealization Dissociative Fugue Now included in the name and symptom structure of what previously was called Depersonalization Disorder and is now called Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder Now a specifier of dissociative amnesia rather than a separate diagnosis Dissociative Identity Disorder Criterion A expanded 52 includes certain possession-form phenomena functional neurological symptoms to account for more diverse presentations of the disorder Symptoms of disruption of identity may be reported as well as observed Gaps in the recall of events may occur for everyday Experiences of pathological possession in some cultures included Other text modifications clarify the nature and course of disruptions DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Somatic Symptom and Related Disorders 53 DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Somatic Symptom and Related Disorders In DSM-IV, there is significant overlap across the somatoform disorders and a lack of clarity about their boundaries These disorders are primarily seen in medical settings, and nonpsychiatric physicians found the DSM-IV somatoform diagnoses problematic to use The DSM-5 classification reduces the number of these disorders and subcategories to avoid problematic overlap Removed 54 Somatization Disorder Hypochondriasis Pain Disorder Undifferentiated Somatoform Disorder DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Somatic Symptom and Related Disorders Somatic Symptom Disorder (Somatization Disorder and Undifferentiated Somatoform Disorder) Individuals with somatic symptoms plus abnormal thoughts, feelings, and behaviors may or may not have a diagnosed medical condition The relationship between somatic symptoms and psychopathology exists along a spectrum 55 the arbitrarily high symptom count required for DSM-IV somatization disorder did not accommodate this spectrum The diagnosis of somatization disorder was essentially based on a long and complex symptom count of medically unexplained symptoms Maladaptive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that define the disorder, in addition to somatic symptoms DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Somatic Symptom and Related Disorders Hypochondriasis Eliminated as a disorder, in part because the name was perceived as pejorative and not conducive to an effective therapeutic relationship Most individuals who would previously have been diagnosed with hypochondriasis have significant somatic symptoms in addition to their high health anxiety now receive a DSM-5 diagnosis of somatic symptom disorder Illness Anxiety Disorder In DSM-5, individuals with high health anxiety without somatic symptoms receive this diagnosis 56 unless their health anxiety was better explained by a primary anxiety disorder, such as generalized anxiety disorder DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Somatic Symptom and Related Disorders Pain Disorder 57 In DSM-IV, this diagnoses assumes that some pains are associated solely with psychological factors, some with medical diseases or injuries, and some with both There is a lack of evidence that such distinctions can be made with reliability and validity, and a large body of research has demonstrated that psychological factors influence all forms of pain Most individuals with chronic pain attribute their pain to a combination of factors, including somatic, psychological, and environmental influences In DSM-5, some individuals with chronic pain would be appropriately diagnosed as having somatic symptom disorder, with predominant pain DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Somatic Symptom and Related Disorders Psychological Factors Affecting Other Medical Conditions and Factitious Disorder Formerly included in the DSM-IV chapter “Other Conditions That May Be a Focus of Clinical Attention” Conversion Disorder (Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder) 58 Criteria modified to emphasize the essential importance of the neurological examination, and in recognition that relevant psychological factors may not be demonstrable at the time of diagnosis DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Feeding and Eating Disorders 59 DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Feeding and Eating Disorders Pica and Rumination Disorder Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (DSM-IV Feeding Disorder of Infancy or Early Childhood) The DSM-IV criteria for pica and for rumination disorder have been revised for clarity and to indicate that the diagnoses can be made for individuals of any age Was rarely used, and limited information is available on the characteristics, course, and outcome of children with this disorder A large number of individuals substantially restrict their food intake and experience significant associated physiological or psychosocial problems but do not meet criteria for any DSM-IV eating disorder Anorexia Nervosa 60 Requirement for amenorrhea eliminated The wording of the criterion is changed for clarity, and guidance Criterion B is expanded to include overtly expressed fear of weight gain and persistent behavior that interferes with weight gain DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Feeding and Eating Disorders Bulimia Nervosa Binge-Eating Disorder Reduction in the required minimum average frequency of binge eating and inappropriate compensatory behavior frequency from twice to once weekly over 3 months, from 6 months Extensive research followed the promulgation of preliminary criteria for binge eating disorder in Appendix B of DSM-IV, and findings supported the clinical utility and validity of binge-eating disorder Same time duration as Bulimia Nervosa Elimination Disorders 61 No significant changes DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Sleep-Wake Disorders 62 DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Sleep-Wake Disorders Overview Primary Insomnia renamed Insomnia Disorder Distinguishes narcolepsy Pediatric and developmental criteria and text are integrated where existing neurobiological and genetic evidence support such integration Greater specification of coexisting conditions is provided Which is now known to be associated with hypocretin deficiency, from other forms of hypersomnolence Removed Sleep disorders related to another mental disorder Sleep disorder related to a general medical condition 63 this change underscores that the individual has a sleep disorder warranting independent clinical attention DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Sleep-Wake Disorders Breathing-Related Sleep Disorders Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Central Sleep Apnea Sleep-Related Hypoventilation Circadian Rhythm Sleep-Wake Disorders Expanded to include… this change reflects the growing understanding of their pathophysiology advanced sleep phase syndrome irregular sleep-wake type non-24-hour sleep-wake type, jet lag type removed Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behavior Disorder and Restless Legs Syndrome 64 In DSM-IV both are included under Dyssomnia Not Otherwise Specified Their full diagnostic status is supported by research evidence DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Sexual Dysfunctions 65 DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Sexual Dysfunctions Overview In DSM-IV, sexual dysfunctions referred to sexual pain or to a disturbance in one or more phases of the sexual response cycle. Gender-specific sexual dysfunctions added 66 Research suggests that sexual response is not always a linear, uniform process and that the distinction between certain phases (e.g., desire and arousal) may be artificial For females, sexual desire and arousal disorders have been combined into one disorder: female sexual interest/arousal disorder To improve precision regarding duration and severity criteria and to reduce the likelihood of overdiagnosis, all of the DSM-5 sexual dysfunctions (except substance-/medication-induced sexual dysfunction) now require a minimum duration of approximately 6 months and more precise severity criteria DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Sexual Dysfunctions Genito-Pelvic Pain/Penetration Disorder Sexual Aversion Disorder removed Represents a merging of the DSM-IV categories of Vaginismus and Dyspareunia, which were highly comorbid and difficult to distinguish due to rare use and lack of supporting research Subtypes Includes only lifelong versus acquired and generalized versus situational subtypes To indicate the presence and degree of medical and other nonmedical correlates: 67 partner factors, relationship factors, individual vulnerability factors, cultural or religious factors, and medical factors DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Gender Dysphoria 68 DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Gender Dysphoria Reflects a change in conceptualization of the disorder’s defining features by emphasizing the phenomenon of “gender incongruence” rather than cross-gender identification per se, as was the case in DSM-IV gender identity disorder Considered to be a multicategory concept rather than a dichotomy Acknowledges the wide variation of gender-incongruent conditions In the wording of the criteria, “the other sex” is replaced by “some alternative gender” Gender instead of sex is used systematically because the concept “sex” is inadequate when referring to individuals with a disorder of sex development Criterion A (cross-gender identification) and Criterion B (aversion toward one’s gender) merged 69 no supporting evidence from factor analytic studies supported keeping the two separate DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Gender Dysphoria Separate criteria sets are provided for Gender Dysphoria in children and in adolescents and adults Child criteria “strong desire to be of the other gender” replaces the previous “repeatedly stated desire” to capture the situation of some children who, in a coercive environment, may not verbalize the desire to be of another gender Criterion A1 (“a strong desire to be of the other gender or an insistence that he or she is the other gender . . .)” is now necessary (but not sufficient), which makes the diagnosis more restrictive and conservative Subtypes and Specifiers The subtyping on the basis of sexual orientation removed A posttransition specifier added 70 many individuals, after transition, no longer meet criteria for gender dysphoria; however, they continue to undergo various treatments to facilitate life in the desired gender DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Disruptive, Impulse-Control, and Conduct Disorders 71 DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Disruptive, Impulse-Control, and Conduct Disorders Overview These disorders are all characterized by problems in emotional and behavioral self-control Antisocial Personality Disorder has dual listing in this chapter and in the chapter on personality disorders ADHD is frequently comorbid with the disorders in this chapter but is listed with the neurodevelopmental disorder Intermittent Explosive Disorder Minimum age of 6 years (or equivalent developmental level) now required Physical aggression, verbal aggression, and nondestructive/ noninjurious physical aggression 72 specific criteria defining frequency needed to meet criteria and specifies that the aggressive outbursts are impulsive and/or anger based in nature must cause marked distress, impairment in occupational or interpersonal functioning, or be associated with negative financial or legal consequences DSM 5 - Jason H. King, PhD, DCMHS, ACS Disruptive, Impulse-Control, and Conduct Disorders Oppositional Defiant Disorder Four refinements 1. symptoms are now grouped into three types: angry/irritable mood, argumentative/defiant behavior, and vindictiveness This change highlights that the disorder reflects both emotional and behavioral symptomatology 2. exclusion criterion for conduct disorder removed 3. a note added to the criteria to provide guidance on the frequency typically needed for a behavior to be considered symptomatic of the disorder 4. a severity rating added to reflect research showing that the degree of pervasiveness of symptoms across settings is an important indicator of severity Conduct Disorder A descriptive features specifier with limited prosocial emotions 73 callous and unemotional interpersonal style across multiple settings and relationships DSM 5 - Jason H.
