How is it not true lol when you just said the clinical specialty is what made sure you knew how to use the DSM? It's not training that I believe most social work programs push. At least not with the individuals here or the ones that I know with social work degrees. Many have taught themselves the DSM by necessity but it was not a core component of their training.
