Multiple Choice

DSM-5 uses a single-axis approach.

Explanation:
DSM-5 moved away from an axis-based structure and uses a nonaxial, integrated approach. In DSM-IV there were five axes to categorize different types of information, but DSM-5 eliminated that system. Diagnoses are listed in a single integrated framework, with psychosocial and contextual factors noted separately rather than on separate axes, and the Global Assessment of Functioning score was removed. So the statement isn’t accurate—the DSM-5 does not use a single-axis approach.
