In an interview with *Psychiatric News*, William Carpenter, M.D., chair of the Psychotic Disorders Work Group, said the major changes to the chapter on psychotic disorders are unlikely to affect case prevalence, but reflect conceptual changes that should make the criteria more accurately reflect individual patient presentation. To read the article, see *Psychiatric News* [here](http://psychnews.psychiatryonline.org/newsArticle.aspx?articleid=1567595) . Extensive information about *DSM-5* can also be found [here](http://www.psychiatry.org/dsm5); this site includes supplemental fact sheets on specific issues and diagnoses, along with video interviews with experts who served on the *DSM-5* Task Force and work groups. Copies may be  [preordered](http://www.appi.org/SearchCenter/Pages/default.aspx?k=2555) from American Psychiatric Publishing; preorders will be fulfilled beginning on the manual’s publication date of May 22.
