For Clinicians

Please join Mind Therapy Clinic's staff at our April 4 training with Dr. Hassert.

The Training

This training will focus on updates made to the DSM-5. We will cover how the DSM-5 is organized by familiarizing ourselves with the overall layout and assessment measures.  We will use an applied model of learning in which case vignettes will be presented to better understand common DSM-5 criteria and rule out diagnoses. Practical diagnostic tools to use within a standard clinical setting will be reviewed, as will the importance of accurate diagnoses and the implications that making diagnoses have on our clinical practice and clients' lives

Participants will:

• Identify significant changes made to the DSM-5 from the DSM-IV
• Apply DSM-5 diagnostic criteria through the use of clinical vignettes to accurately assess common psychiatric conditions
