Major Changes from DSM-IV to DSM-5

Click the link below to view a publication from the APA about the more significant changes that took place with the change from the DSM-IV TR to the DSM-5.

What Counts As Crazy? (Time Magazine, 3/19/12)

This is an article from Time Magazine from the time when they were still working on finalizing the DSM-5 and it discusses some of the controversies surrounding it. It's well worth a quick read.

DSM-IV TR (Online Version)

This is an online version of the DSM-IV TR (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual). I also have a hard copy available in class if you ever want to look at it. However, remember that the APA has recently released the new DSM-5 (which I also have available in the classroom), and that is the version that is now being used for AP classes.

Old DSMs in pdf format

On their website, American Psychiatric Publishing, Inc. includes electronic versions of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders I, II, III, IIIR, and IV. Each of the books are available in a PDF format. This provides a perfect opportunity to see how the various disorders names, descriptions, and symptom patterns have changes over the years. Below I've included the links to each of the past DSMs.

DSM-I

DSM-II

DSM-III

Mental Health - Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

John Oliver explains how our national system of treating mental health works, or more often than not, how it doesn’t.

(Important Note: If you choose to watch, please be warned that Mr. Oliver uses rather crude language at times. However, I feel it is worth sharing this piece nonetheless considering his thought-provoking analysis of a very important issue.)

Discovering Psychology: Psychopathology

This is a good general overview video that might serve as a nice review of some of the key concepts from this unit (although it doesn't cover all of the classes of disorders).

NIMH (The National Institute of Mental Health) Publications

The NIMH is probably one of the best and most respected institutions for information on mental health issues. I have put some links below to serve your own personal interests, or as a resource for your research paper. The National Institute of Mental Health has a large number of excellent mental health publications. They come in booklet, easy to read, or fact sheets formats.

At http://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/publications/index.shtml there is a search function for all of their mental health publications.

Bipolar Disorder in Children and Teens: A Parent's Guide
Depression
Eating Disorders

Looking at abnormal behavior
The Nature of Stress

Substance Abuse Disorders
Sexual Disorders
Mood Disorders
The Schizophrenias

Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale

Take this online self-assessment to obtain a measurement of your typical level of anxiety. (Note: This should not be treated as a diagnostic tool for GAD or any other Anxiety Disorder. However, if your results are concerning to you, I encourage you to talk to a qualified professional about this.)

Phobias, Phobias, Phobias

Here are a bunch of sites pertaining to phobias, many of them with very extensive lists of phobias that you never knew existed.

PsychCentral - OCD Online Screening Quiz

Like any of the self-assessments that we've done in class, this is not intended to be a diagnostic tool. However, it still might be useful to you to become more familiar with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.

Depression: Out of the Shadows (PBS)

This is the video that we watched part of in class. I strongly encourage you to watch the rest if you have time.

Online Self-test for Personality Disorders

Especially since I'm not familiar with the source for this self-test, do not take this test too seriously, and obviously it is not for actual diagnostic purposes. However, I thought some of you might find it interesting, so I decided to post it.http://www.4degreez.com/misc/personality_disorder_test.mv

"The Mind of the Psychopath" (from "The Mind" video series)

This is about a 20 minute clip about Antisocial Personality Disorder (aka psychopathy or sociopathy).

Eating Disorder Related Sites

The link above will take you to a site that looks at celebrities with eating disorders. Celebrities and eating disorders can make for a potentially potent introduction into the eating disorders topic--after all, who has their bodies scrutinized more than celebrities and athletes? However, as they point out, many of these celebrities have put their lives at risk and had to be hospitalized due to their eating disorders. The site also has helpful information to learn more about getting help.

This site is called About-Face. The site has been of great use for both sociology and psychology classes when dealing with the role and portrayal of women in our culture. The site calls out the magazines and advertisers about their respective questionable images in a portion called, "gallery of offenders." However, this is not just exploitation. The site also has a gallery of winners, featuring ads that have real women in real situations. There is also a great deal of sarcasm that comes with explaining the offenders--pretty cool if you ask me.

Established in 1999, the Eating Disorder Referral and Information Center has been informing the public on the various eating disorders and their treatments. While the site appears to be primarily designed to assist someone in finding treatment, there is basic information on anorexia, bulimia and the other eating disorders.

NIMH Eating Disorders Publication

In 2008, the National Institute of Mental Health published a 26 page booklet on the various Eating Disorders. The book, written primarily to a layperson, provides a good background to the basics of the many Eating Disorders as they currently appear in the DSM-IV-TR.

What Are Eating Disorders?
Eating disorders are treatable diseases
Anorexia Nervosa
Bulimia Nervosa
Binge-Eating Disorder
FDA Warnings On Antidepressants
How Are Men And Boys Affected?
How Are We Working To Better Understand And Treat Eating Disorders?

Dove Beauty Campaign

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYhCn0jf46U&feature=player_embedded

A few years ago, Dove Soap created a campaign for "real beauty" in an attempt to alter cultural attitudes toward what makes women attractive. This campaign originally featured the video linked above to make viewers aware of how much change goes into a woman's appearance before and after she is photographed. Whether it is lighting, makeup, or editing the photo, there is a clear and distinct difference between reality and the images that people see in the magazines.

This video is a speech given by Temple Grandin. She's a truly amazing woman with autism spectrum disorder who used her disorder to her advantage in helping pioneer making cattle ranches and slaughterhouses more humane. The way that her mind works helped her to think about things differently and understand what animals were thinking better than others could. She references an HBO movie called "Temple Grandin" that tells her story and stars Claire Danes. I would recommend it to anyone that is interested.

Carl Rogers Website

The Saybrook Graduate School and Research Center has developed a website devoted to the work of Carl Rogers. Below is the "About Us" page from the site.

The Carl Rogers website serves as a gateway to the work of Dr. Carl Rogers and the many disciplines he influenced. Its primary audience is scholars and practitioners. It is a project of Saybrook Graduate School and Research Center, funded by the proceeds of the 2002 Carl R. Rogers Centennial Symposium.The site includes a bibliography of books and articles by and about Rogers and the Person-Centered Approach (PCA) with links to those that are available online. It makes available a collection of rich media - selected audio and video archives that are streamed as WindowsMedia, as well as samples from the CD ROM Carl Rogers: A Daughter's Tribute and Howard Kirschenbaum's videotape Carl Rogers and the Person-Centered Approach. The audio collection is selected from the Carl R. Rogers archive at University of California at Santa Barbara. A comprehensive list of (and links to) world-wide organizations and training centers connected with Rogers and the Person-Centered Approach is included.

The Carl Rogers website is located at http://www.carlrogers.info/index.html

Mental Health Medications

The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) at http://www.nimh.nih.gov has published an excellent 30 page booklet entitled Mental Health Medications. The booklet, organized by disorders, details many of the psychiatric medications used today. The publication ends with an alphabetical listing of drugs.

The booklet can be viewed online at http://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/publications/mental-health-medications/index.shtmland/

Guilty Except for Insanity

https://www.jhaaken.com/guilty-except-for-insanity

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE5EMhb-jcA

This is a newer documentary about the Oregon State Hospital (made famous by One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest). It documents the struggles of 5 people in the hospital. It also touches on the history of mental hospitals and the legal struggles these patients face.

Here is little excerpt from the website:

"Guilty Except for Insanity follows the journeys of five people who enlist the insanity defense after being charged with serious crimes. The documentary portrays the circ*mstances surrounding their crimes and the dilemmas they confront as they enter the Oregon State Hospital under the "guilty except for insanity" plea."
