Understanding the DSM-5 Criteria for Schizoaffective Disorder 3.0 (Self-Study)
Self-Study
SELF-STUDY ONLINE SEMINAR
This webinar is clinically-based for anyone invested in improving their skills.
For New York State Licensed LMSWs, LCSWs, LMHCs, and CASACs,
2 CEUs are available once the post-test and evaluation are completed.
Regardless of which patients and clients you work with, a proper and deep understanding of the diagnosis of Schizoaffective Disorder will enhance your overall skills as a mental health provider. You will learn the three main conditions that come together to form the diagnosis of Schizoaffective Disorder. You will learn what is required to accurately make this diagnosis, how this diagnosis has been made erroneously, more often than not, and how you can avoid the same pitfalls going forward.
This is all in addition to learning the Socratic Motivational Practice framework as part of mastering the secrets and soft skills of HPI, HPS, and History Taking, as they relate to the symptom constellation of this condition. The amount of knowledge in mental health doubles every eighteen months, and we all want to provide authentic care.
Please join us, arm yourself with tools, enhance your practice, and the lives of your patients, clients, and their families.
At the end of this seminar, you will have:
- Learned the framework of the Socratic Motivational Practice to understand the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for Schizoaffective Disorder.
- Learned the Principles of the Socratic Motivational Practice to work with patients and clients and the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for Schizoaffective Disorder.
- Increased your tools to talking with patients and clients by identifying at least one thing you will start doing differently, at the end of the webinar, as a result of the Socratic Motivational Practice framework.
- Everything you want in one place, including an illustration of how to implement the newly learned skills during our role plays.
- Received your certificate by email immediately after your post-test and evaluation are completed.
