Today we spent the first half of class reviewing the previous lectures where abnormaL behaviors had been covered. We picked up with additional points about the DSM-IV-TR. The lecture included points around how important it is to remember the manual is a guide and cannot easily diagnosis and develop treatment plans. Additionally, it was stressed how each patient is unique and although two patients may have the same diagnosis their presenting symptoms may be very different.

We closed the sesion with a look ahead to cover cultural differences and begin reviewing disorders.
