Show, by your actions, that you choose peace over war, freedom over oppression, voice over silence, service over self-interest, respect over advantage, cooperation over competition, action over passivity, diversity over uniformity, and justice over all.

Subject: NBCC Alert: Volunteer for DSM-5 Field Trials


As a courtesy, NBCC would like to remind practicing, licensed counselors that the Practice Research Network of the American Psychiatric Institute for Research and Education is conducting field trials of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). These field trials will focus on the feasibility and clinical utility of

 1.  The proposed modifications to the diagnostic criteria for a broad range of disorders.
 2.  Cross-cutting and diagnostic-specific dimensional measures that are incorporated into the diagnostic scheme for DSM-5.

Practicing, licensed counselors must meet certain criteria in order to participate in the field trials, including

 *   Completion of an online training before enrolling patients or clients into the study.
 *   Access to a computer, with an Internet connection, for both participant and clinician to use during study visits.
 *   Enrollment of one new and one existing patient or client in the study.
 *   Administration of the DSM-5 study measures at an initial client visit and at a follow-up approximately four to 12 weeks later.

If you meet these criteria and are interested in participating, please go to www.dsm5.org/pages/registration.aspx<http://cts.vresp.com/c/?NationalBoardforCert/08f8df3852/5744081428/1d802efa7c> and register to volunteer. Be sure to check the “Field Trials” box at the bottom of the online form. Once this is done, you should receive the eligibility survey.

If you have any questions or concerns about the registration process and the eligibility criteria, e-mail the Practice Research Network at aparesearch at psych.org<mailto:aparesearch at psych.org> or call the toll-free number, 800-713-7123.
