October 2022 Clinical Supervision Topic: Diagnosing

How do you properly diagnose someone?

What are the pros and cons to diagnosing vs. not?

My goal for this month is that you are able to navigate the system which exists, including the system of assessing and diagnosing with the DSM. I also hope you’re able to critically think about it, know its flaws and shortcomings, and be able to discern when it’s a help or hindrance for your client.

We’ll be exploring all of that together in our supervision sessions. Please check out the below resources, and come ready to sharpen your skills, and discuss!
