This course on Advanced Diagnosis will cover data from clinical research studies for the main diagnoses in psychiatry. Clinical research will be examined in both children and adults. DSM and non-DSM approaches to diagnosis and treatment will be explored, and evidence for and against different approaches will be presented through scientific clinical research studies. All discussions will be evidence-based, with a direct relationship to scientifically sound clinical research studies. Conceptual and historical aspects of psychiatric diagnoses and psychopathology will also be analyzed.
The practice gap being addressed is that psychiatrists often lack extensive knowledge of the scientific or conceptual basis for the most common psychiatric diagnoses. This limited knowledge leads to notable rates of misdiagnosis or the misuse of diagnoses. Furthermore, clinicians use the DSM system uncritically and are often unable to think about psychopathology based primarily on the scientific literature, regardless of whether or not it correlates with DSM constructs.
The learning objectives are:
- Analyze the conceptual assumptions and empirical data underlying major psychiatric diagnoses.
- Identify and understand the research evidence for and against DSM and non-DSM concepts of psychopathology.
- Apply the broader knowledge provided in the course to decision-making in clinical practice.
Lectures, each lasting approximately 60 minutes:
- Origins and sources of DSM-III to 5
- Depressive Conditions
- Bipolar Disorder
- Schizophrenia and Schizoaffective Disorder
- Anxiety States
- Attention Deficit Disorder
- Psychopathology: Basic and Advanced Concepts
- Psychopathology: Basic and Advanced Concepts
