when was dsm-iv-tr published
The DSM-5âs Predecessor: The DSM-IV-TR. The DSM-IV was originally published in 1994 and listed more than 250 mental disorders. An updated version, called the DSM-IV-TR, was published in 2000 and contained minor text revisions in the descriptions of each disorder. Mental health providers used the manual to better understand a client's potential needs as well as a tool for assessment and diagnosis.
