Working together in small groups, see how many of the above exercises you can complete. These are designed to familiarize you with where different material is located in the DSM 5. When it comes to actual diagnoses, there will often be discussions about what diagnosis to use. In other words, don’t expect that there is only one right answer. Discuss the cases with your colleagues and try to seek the best answer instead. After discussion, in which you will no doubt cover many of the issues raised in a real work situation, assign the diagnosis you feel is most appropriate.
