FREE 6-HOUR LIVE DSM-5-TR MASTERCLASS
WEDNESDAY, MAY 20TH, 2026 @ 10:00 AM ET – 5:30 PM ET
What Every Clinician Needs to Know About How Psychodiagnosis Is Changing — DSM Updates, Emerging Frameworks, and What's Reshaping the Field Right Now
Free Masterclass With Dr. Greg Neimeyer, PhD — One of Two Psychologists Originally Trained on DSM-5 by the APA
Psychodiagnosis is evolving rapidly. Most clinicians still rely primarily on the DSM — but the ICD, RDoC, and HiTOP are actively influencing how the field classifies mental disorders, and the DSM itself is responding. This free masterclass keeps you ahead of the shift.

DSM-5-TR Masterclass: Updated Diagnoses, Emerging Frameworks & What Every Clinician Needs to Know Now
MODULE 1
The Diagnostic Map Most Clinicians Are Still Using & Where It Ends:
How DSM-5-TR, ICD-11, RDoC & HiTOP each describe the same client differently, and why framework selection changes every clinical decision that follows.
MODULE 2
Your Trauma Client Is Destabilizing Every Time Processing Begins:
Why Complex PTSD is a distinct ICD-11 diagnosis with a different structure, different maintaining mechanisms & different treatment sequencing than standard PTSD.
MODULE 3
The Grief That Isn't Lifting Isn't Treatment-Resistant Depression:
How to identify Prolonged Grief Disorder, added to DSM-5-TR in 2022, and the specific maintaining mechanisms MDD treatment does not target.
MODULE 4
Two Clients. Same DSM Code. Completely Different Clinical Pictures:
How dimensional diagnosis in serious mental illness tracks improvement across six symptom domains — even when categorical criteria haven't changed.
MODULE 5
Your Client's Behavioral Pattern Has No DSM Code, But ICD-11 Does:
Gaming Disorder, Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder & the evidence-based protocols that only apply once the correct diagnostic framework is in place.
MODULE 6
The Personality Disorder Framework Already in Your DSM That Most Clinicians Have Never Used:
How the Alternative Model of Personality Disorders produces more precise treatment targets than categorical PD diagnosis, and how to apply it from the next intake forward.
LEARN DSM-5-TR & EMERGING FRAMEWORKS FROM ONE OF ONLY TWO PSYCHOLOGISTS ORIGINALLY TRAINED ON THE DSM-5 BY THE APA
Dr. Greg Neimeyer, PhD
Dr. Greg Neimeyer was one of only two psychologists the American Psychiatric Association originally selected to train on the DSM-5 before it reached the field. From that position, he built what most clinicians never get: a complete view of where the diagnostic framework works, where it ends, and where the field was already moving past it.
Dr. Greg Neimeyer was one of only two psychologists the American Psychiatric Association originally selected to train on the DSM-5 before it reached the field. He has delivered hundreds of professional trainings on the DSM and ICD nationally and internationally. What he brings to May 20th is the complete diagnostic picture built for the cases that standard diagnostic training was never designed to address.
Here's What Changes When Your Diagnostic Framework Is Complete:
WITH THIS MASTERCLASS:
You know which diagnostic framework fits before the treatment plan is built
A stuck client gets a second diagnostic look with the framework that actually fits
Complex PTSD, Prolonged Grief & dimensional personality disorder have a clear clinical home
Your most complex cases have a framework precise enough to drive real treatment decisions
WITHOUT THIS MASTERCLASS:
You keep treating the diagnosis you were trained to see, not the one the client has
The client who isn't moving stays stuck & you have no framework to explain why
Complex PTSD, Prolonged Grief & behavioral addiction cases arrive with no diagnostic home
The field moves forward & your most complex cases keep paying the cost of the gap.
9 CE credits & lifetime replay available For Purchase after registration
Frequently Asked Questions
How many CEs do I receive, and what does it cost?
The Masterclass is completely free to attend live. After registration, you will have the option to upgrade to 9 board-approved CEs plus lifetime recording access for $67 before the Masterclass begins. You can purchase CEs at the next step once you register.
Can I get the recording if I cannot attend live?
Yes. Lifetime recording access is included with the CE upgrade. If you cannot attend May 20th live, the recording gives you everything Dr. Neimeyer covers: every diagnostic framework, every clinical decision-making tool, every case illustration — available permanently on your own schedule.
Do I receive CEs just for attending live?
No. CEs are available for purchase in the next step after registration. Attending the live Masterclass is free. The CE upgrade at $67 gives you 9 board-approved CEs plus lifetime recording access.
I primarily work with anxiety and depression. Is this relevant to my practice?
Yes. The diagnostic frameworks covered in this Masterclass cut across every clinical presentation — not just complex or specialty cases. Clients carrying anxiety and depression can have presentations that map more precisely onto ICD-11 frameworks, Prolonged Grief Disorder criteria, or dimensional models than onto the DSM-5-TR code they were assigned at intake. This training gives you the diagnostic tools to find that distinction — regardless of what is on the diagnostic chart.
I have attended DSM trainings before and found them too theoretical to apply in session. How is this different?
Dr. Neimeyer has spent decades training clinicians on the DSM and ICD specifically for the clinical moment — not the classroom. Every framework he covers on May 20th is taught with the specific clinical decision-making context for when to apply it, why it produces a more accurate picture than the alternative, and what changes in the treatment plan when it does. You leave with a diagnostic protocol, not a lecture.
I already use DSM-5-TR daily. Is this going to tell me anything I do not already know?
If you already know that ICD-11 introduced Complex PTSD as a distinct diagnosis with a separate symptom cluster, that Prolonged Grief Disorder was added to DSM-5-TR in 2022 with specific maintaining mechanisms that MDD treatment does not target, and that the Alternative Model of Personality Disorders produces more precise treatment targets than categorical PD diagnosis, this may cover familiar ground. If any of those have ever shown up in your caseload without a clear diagnostic home, this Masterclass was built for exactly that moment.
Are the CEs board-approved for my license?
Yes. The CEs are board-approved for LCSWs, LPCs, LMFTs, PsyDs, and other licensed mental health professionals. Click the Board Approvals button below to see the full list of approved licensing boards for your state.
