AO3 (2 marks)
Credit up to two marks for justification
For example;
- The DSM V has greater cultural sensitivity because there is
updated criteria to reflect cross-cultural variations in the
presentation of symptoms (1). There is also a clinical formulation
interview guide that includes cultural questions, so clinicians can
assess the cultural factors influencing a patient's own perspective
of their symptoms (1).
Look for other reasonable marking points.
