  Description:  Do you feel insecure about your diagnoses? Thinking about expanding your practice to include psychological testing or forensic evaluation? Or maybe you’re just looking to sharpen your diagnostic skills? Want to arrive at an accurate diagnosis when working with clients with complicated symptoms presentations? Counselors are often trained in graduate school with cookie-cutter, seamless, case examples, but in the real world, clients often don't present with "textbook" presentations of symptoms that neatly fall into a particular disorder. Many symptoms of mental disorders are "overlapping," meaning that the same symptom may be listed under several disorders. How do clinical mental health counselors differentiate one disorder from another? What sources of data might you base your conclusions on? If you wanted to venture into forensic evaluations, mandated employer evaluations, bariatric surgery evaluations, and disability-related evaluations, what standards and tools should be used? This 8-hour workshop was designed to equip you with practical tools for differential diagnosis, providing an overview of guidelines for evaluation and testing, the American Psychiatric Association’s six-step process for differential diagnosis, four categories of sources of data that can be used to arrive at conclusions, and an introduction to the APA’s cross cutting symptom measures. Participants will learn to use diagnostic decision trees to arrive at a diagnosis for real case examples and will be provided with sample formats for both clinical and forensic evaluation reports. Finally, you’ll learn how to bill insurance companies and other third-party payers for more in-depth evaluation services.
