We went from ISAWS (dos driven) to C-IV (menu driven). We had to learn a new way of inputting info into the computer, new ways of reading the results, new ways of building relationships. We don’t enter case comments any more, we “journal”. And no paper – its all electronic. No paper was harder to get used to than new verbiage.

I think its time again to update the DSM. Wonder if they’ll ever revise the PDR.

……..dhole

Outside of practicing over and over, I’m not sure there’s an easy way to get it down. I hope it works well for patients and doctors.

Sounds like it will be a battle, but hopefully a very productive one. Mental health is getting a lot of play in media these days—maybe it’s finally coming into the light of day so that people won’t feel stigmatized by m.h. issues. May the DSM support that!

Cool. I’ve always found it interesting to read those books.
