Ethical Diagnostic Decision-Making
3 Ethics CEs
Diagnosis is one of the most misunderstood and misused aspects in professional counseling and psychology. Accurate diagnosis requires the utilization of multiple skill sets, including clinical intuition and the ability to analyze research. Clinicians are uniquely positioned to provide helpful and insightful diagnostic impressions, but to do so requires ongoing learning and the ability to evaluate multiple data points. This workshop will walk through how to ethically consider the various aspects related to diagnosis in general, with specific focus on common co-occurring disorders that often get misdiagnosed in practice (e.g., ADHD and Autism).
