Although the DSM-5 continues to specifically categorize disorders, there is a new element that was not found in the previous version, the DSM-4. This additional aspect is __________ .
  1. Therapeutic approaches
  2. Acuteness measures
  3. Treatment plans
  4. All of the above
Explanation
Answer: B - New to the DSM-5 is the acuteness measurement scales. An acuteness measure is not present for each and every disorder, but is available for many combined diagnoses in the DSM-5. This is important as previously, in the DSM-4, clinicians were required to either categorize a disorder as “absent,” or “present,” rather than looking at the disorder, in terms of a spectrum.
