WORKSHOP OUTCOMES & OVERVIEW
This workshop is an interactive introduction to the DSM. It provides an historical perspective, examines ethical considerations, and outlines why a knowledge of the document is important for all social workers. The distinctions between symptoms, episodes and disorders are defined; criteria sets of commonly diagnosed disorders are explored; and participants are instructed in the structure of the DSM and how to most effectively use it.
Topics to be covered include:
- Medical Model and Insurance Companies
- Social Work Ethical Considerations when diagnosis
- Symptoms, Episodes, and Disorders
- Structure of the DSM
- Commonly Diagnosed Disorders
At the end of the workshop, participants will:
- Understand how the DSM fits in history & its current importance for social workers in day-to-day practice.
- Be familiar enough with the structure and organization of DSM to be able to utilize it as a resource.
- Understand the methodology of criteria sets.
- Develop a familiarity with some of the most common diagnoses and know how to use those criteria sets to match symptoms gathered during the client assessment process.
