Use of DSM-5 Content in Trainings/Seminars
Once DSM-5 has been published, and the content is final and publically available, we would be happy to discuss how the APA can be of assistance in ensuring clinicians obtain appropriate training to help them understand and correctly implement DSM-5. There will be a master course and other sessions on DSM-5 at the 2013 Annual Meeting in San Francisco (May 18-22).
Written permission is required from the APA for use of DSM-5 content in trainings/seminars, commercial or noncommercial. Requests for permission to reproduce DSM-5 materials for use in trainings/seminars will be considered starting on June 1, 2013.
Any non-APA training/seminars must include this disclaimer: DSM and DSM-5 are registered trademarks of the American Psychiatric Association. The American Psychiatric Association is not affiliated with nor endorses this seminar.
Disclaimer must be included in all marketing materials and training materials. In addition, any trainings/seminars taking place prior to the release of the DSM-5 should take into account and clearly state that there will be editorial and content changes in the final phases of the publication process and that information presented in the seminar may be tentative and not final.
