DSM training for psychologists

DSM training for Basic Psychologists: Descriptive diagnosis and DSM-5-TR classification

Training consists of two half day sessions: 2 sept 2025 and 30 sept 2025

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) is an international classification system for mental health conditions. It is based on scientific research and helps professionals use a shared language to describe and understand mental disorders.
In the Netherlands, only qualified and licensed practitioners registered in the BIG register are allowed to make official diagnoses. This requires specific knowledge, skills, and precision.

However, even if you are not licensed to diagnose, it is still important to understand the DSM if you work in Dutch mental health care. It helps you recognize symptoms, communicate with colleagues, and support the diagnostic process. That’s why PsyGlobal organizes an introductory training on DSM.
