Details:
Focusing on a new crosswalk model linking DC:0-3R axes to DSM-5, this case discussion session will introduce participants to a step-wise diagnostic thinking process for organizing assessment data to clarify diagnostic issues and prioritize treatment needs. The diagnostic thinking process helps to 1) operationalize developmentally informed, observation-based strategies for examination of presenting problems 2) ground diagnostic thinking in essential questions about a child’s functional social emotional competencies, developmental progression and relationship context, and 3) establish a strong connection between diagnostic formulation and treatment planning. The crosswalk model supports identification of risks/stresses that threaten to derail overall developmental and social-emotional progress or contribute to significant deterioration in areas of life functioning or adaptive capacity. This breadth of perspective highlights limitations of DSM and ICD Axis I for diagnostic formulation in work with young children and their families. Participants attending this one-day refresher course should have attended a two-day DC: 0-3 R training previously.
