[DSM-5: What is new and what is relevant to forensic psychiatric assessment?]. / DSM 5: Was ist neu und was ist für die Begutachtung relevant?

ABSTRACT

DSM-5 lists a number of new diagnostic categories and also major changes in diagnoses that have previously been in use. The diagnostic sections of the DSM-5 and certain fundamental changes are presented. Some of the implications with respect to expert opinions are discussed. Certain aspects of the DSM-5 section on somatic symptom disorder will be discussed in more detail, since complaints of physical symptoms without an adequate medical explanation are very frequently encountered in the general population.
