This course on Advanced Diagnosis will cover data in clinical research studies for major 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 provided using scientific clinical research studies. All discussion will be evidence-based, with direct relation to scientifically sound clinical research studies. Conceptual and historical aspects of psychiatric diagnoses and psychopathology also will be analyzed.
The practice gap that is being addressed is that psychiatric practitioners often do not have extensive knowledge about the scientific or conceptual basis of the most common psychiatric diagnoses. This limited knowledge leads to notable misdiagnosis rates or to misuse of diagnoses. Further clinicians use the DSM system uncritically, and often are unable to think about psychopathology based on the scientific literature primarily, whether or not it correlates with DSM constructs.
The learning objectives are:
