The current classification system for psychological disorders (DSM-5)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The DSM-5 recognizes the importance of including information beyond just a traditional diagnostic label, such as specifying severity, duration, and functional impairments. This allows for a more comprehensive understanding of the individual's experience and needs. The other options are incorrect; the DSM-5 still uses diagnostic labels, contains more disorders than previous systems, and provides specific criteria for each disorder rather than simply classifying individuals as normal or abnormal.
