DSM Training for Psychologists (May 27 & June 24)

This English-language training course consists of two half-days and a homework assignment and offers an introduction to the use and meaning of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) in combination with the preparation of a descriptive diagnosis within the mental health care sector.
