Diagnostic/Assessment

Diagnostic & Assessment

Diagnostic and assessment work is about meaning-making—supporting accurate understanding while honoring the complexity of each client’s lived experience. Learn from experts how to approach diagnosing clients and conducting assessments without compromising the therapeutic relationship.

The DSM-5 and Psychodiagnostic Interviewing

It is possible to get the diagnostic data you need during the first session – and in a way that leaves clients feeling like they want to come back for a second session. Take a closer look at how the DSM-5-TR and the diagnostic process can be used to improve mental healthcare. Through step-by-step clinical demonstrations, you’ll develop client-oriented diagnostic interviewing skills that lay the foundation for a strong therapeutic alliance and successful course of treatment. This online course includes 10 hours of video featuring clinical demonstrations of 11 diagnoses, TR updated criteria and codes, 9.5 CEs & more!
