Description

Gain confidence in your ability to diagnose and treat Conduct Disorder, ADHD, ODD & Bipolar — GUARANTEED!

  • New Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder – DSM-5®
  • New strategies to help clients regulate emotions & behavior
  • Identify the role and limitations of medications

As clinicians, we are often faced with complicated cases where the child/ adolescent is displaying multiple behaviors and symptoms, and parents are desperately seeking answers or a diagnosis. Disruptive behavior disorders are typically easy to identify because they are characterized with temper tantrums, outbursts, aggression and defiant behavior. However, since symptomology can overlap, incorrectly identifying children and adolescents with the wrong diagnosis can be detrimental to their social, emotional and cognitive development.

Attend this seminar and separate yourself from other therapists by discovering how to differentiate diagnoses that have similar presenting symptoms. We will also focus on the new disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD), that has been introduced to help reduce the number of children diagnosed with bipolar I disorder. Utilize new treatment strategies for all the different disruptive disorders, including DBT skills, early intervention methods, mindfulness and self-regulation.

This day is guaranteed to increase your confidence when diagnosing and treating children and adolescents with:

  • Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder
