Training Synopsis

Differential diagnosis is a critical component of psychological assessment, particularly when clients present with overlapping symptoms, comorbid conditions, or complex developmental histories. This training focuses on practical, clinically grounded strategies for differentiating commonly misdiagnosed disorders across the lifespan. Emphasis is placed on integrating DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria, clinical interviews, psychological testing, and collateral information to support accurate, defensible diagnoses that directly inform treatment planning and clinical decision-making.
