Give it a Name! Clinical Diagnosis Basics and Ethics

This training will review understanding diagnosis, history of the DSM and how we got here. We will review ethical issues related to diagnosis. This training would be helpful for both clinical and adjacent non-clinical staff who work in the field to help understand what diagnoses mean and how to utilize them for a framework in intervention.
