This live professional training program on Differentiating Delusional Disorder from Extreme Beliefs: An introduction to the 17-Factor Model is presented by Mark Cunningham, PhD, ABPP, in partnership with the American Board of Forensic Psychology (AAFP).
Threat assessment professionals and forensic mental health experts face a challenging differential in determining whether a potential violent actor or post-violence defendant suffers from a delusional disorder or is simply radicalized in his extreme religious or political beliefs. An SPJ tool termed “Model of Analysis for Differentiating Delusional Disorder from the Radicalization of Extreme Beliefs–17 Factor" (MADDD-or-Rad-17) is available to aid in systematically distinguishing these cases and in promoting transparency in associated reports and testimony.
In this model of analysis (SPJ), 7 primary arenas of analysis were distilled from scholarship regarding features of delusions and delusional disorder. Seventeen factors are specified for operationally defining and qualitatively describing the 7 primary arenas of analysis. Within each factor, features may be specified that further disaggregate the analysis. This workshop will serve as an orientation to the MADDD-or-Rad-17.
