Dr. Gary Gintner, LSU Associate Professor and Program Leader of the Counseling Program at Louisiana State University, was featured in the lead story for the July/August issue of The National Psychologist, a newspaper for practitioners with national circulation.
In the front page story, titled “Expert sees value in DSM-5,” the reporter noted that Gintner is a nationally recognized exert on the DSM and considers that views of the DSM-5 are more negative than warranted. Gintner said that adjusting to the new manual will likely require additional training for most practitioners, noted the article.
Gintner was the invited speaker to the Ohio Psychological Association training event hosted by the Ohio association and the National Psychologist. He presented “DSM-5: A User’s Guide Workshop.”
Dr. Gintner is currently the DSM-5 Task Force Chair for the American Mental Health Counselors Association and a nationally recognized trainer on the DSM. As Chair, he has provided responses for the DSM-5 development for the American Psychiatric Association.
Dr. Gintner has conducted workshops on the DSM since the early 1990s. He has provided training for the American Counseling Association, the American Mental Health Counseling Association, and many state associations, including Marriage and Family Therapy state associations.
The Times reported on Dr. Gintner’s presentation in its July issue.
