How do I cite the online DSM-V in APA?

I am using the version from Psychiatry Online available from the Library's database menu.


Answer

We should be able to use the example for "entry in a reference book" from p. 18 of the APA Style Guide Electronic Resources, 6th edition.

22. Entry in a reference work

American Psychiatric Association. (2000). Appendix I: Outline for cultural formulation and glossary of culture-bound syndromes. In Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (4th ed., text rev.). http://dx.doi.org/10.1176/appi .books.9780890423349.7060


An entry from the DSM-V from Psychiatry Online would look like this -

American Psychiatric Association. (2013). Obsessive-compulsive and related disorders. In Diagnostic and
     statistical manual of mental disorders
 (5th ed.). https://doi.org/10.1176/appi.books.9780890425596.dsm06


Remember to use proper spacing & indenting, which I cannot replicate with the AskUs software.
