While most of the changes instituted since publication of DSM‐5 and included in this text revision involve relatively minor changes and serve to correct errors, clarify ambiguities, or resolve inconsistencies between the diagnostic criteria and text, some are significant enough to have an impact on clinical practice 4.
The updates to the diagnostic criteria and text in DSM‐5‐TR are the product of two separate but concurrent processes: the iterative revision process that allows the addition or deletion of disorders and specifiers as well as changes in diagnostic criteria to be made on an ongoing basis 3, which commenced soon after the publication of DSM‐5, and a complementary text revision process which began in 2019. These changes include the addition of diagnostic entities, and modifications and updated terminology in diagnostic criteria and specifier definitions. However, in contrast to DSM‐IV‐TR, in which updates were confined almost exclusively to the text 2, there are a number of significant changes and improvements in DSM‐5‐TR that are of interest to practicing clinicians and researchers. Like the previous text revision (DSM‐IV‐TR), the main goal of DSM‐5‐TR is to comprehensively update the descriptive text that is provided for each DSM disorder based on reviews of the literature since the release of the prior version. The DSM‐5 Text Revision (DSM‐5‐TR) 1 is the first published revision of DSM‐5 since its original publication in 2013.
