W2: Classification and Diagnosis
Week 2 Discussion:
For this week’s discussion assignment, respond to the following questions: There are clear advantages and criticisms of the current DSM and the process of diagnosis in general. What do you think about the current classification system and its collection of both categorical and dimensional information? What do you see as the biggest challenges in using it for diagnosis?
Remember that all posts are graded for substance and thoughtful consideration of the discussion topic. Your post must also end with a "Question to the Class" – something related to the topic that you found thought-provoking and about which you’d like to know more and have further dialog.
