Addiction and the DSM-V

~ Jason Schwartz

The journal Addiction has just released a special issue: Diagnostic Issues In Substance Use Disorders: Refining the Research Agenda–Guest editors: John B. Saunders and Marc A. Schuckit

The issue addresses diagnostic issues/controversies such as the impact of neurobiology, the impact of culture, the DSM vs. the ICD, co-occurring disorders, addiction subtypes, and non-substance “addictions.” Lots of fun for addiction geeks!

Any DF staff should let me know if you would like reprints of any of the articles.

I have been an addiction professional and social worker since 1994. I started blogging in 2005 as the Clinical Director at Dawn Farm. I currently serve as the Director of Social Work and Spiritual Care for a healthcare system. I've also served as the Director of Behavioral Health at another hospital. I'm also a lecturer at Eastern Michigan University’s School of Social Work. Views expressed here are my own. Keep in mind that the field, the contexts in which the field operates, and my views have changed over time.
