DSM-5: Paraphilic and Other Disorders-HS

Course overview

Paraphilia refers to intense and persistent sexual interests that fall outside the realm of what is considered phenotypically normal. In addition to clinical disorders in DSM-5, there are also several small sections devoted to other disorders and considerations for diagnosis. Those will be included in this course. This course, then, will include an overview of disorders that warrant consideration, paraphilic disorder, and other disorders and conditions that should be part of a diagnostic assessment.
