Tracy Thomas, Ph.D., ABPP (Forensic) presents a live virtual professional training program on DSM-5-TR: Key Revisions and Implications for Forensic Psychological Practice in partnership with the American Academy of Forensic Psychology (AAFP).
This training will review key changes from the DSM-5 to the DSM-5-TR relevant to forensic psychological practice. This session will also include education and practice on distinct models of case conceptualization, issues surrounding the DSM and diagnosis, and methods of effectively communicating diagnostic information.
This training addresses the increased attention to culture, racism, and discrimination in the DSM-5-TR. The impact of culture, racism, and discrimination on (1) symptom presentation, (2) attribution and understanding of the cause of psychological disorders, and (3) variations in disorder prevalence across person groups and classes. Attendees will be provided with both didactic training and practice via case examples.
This training will focus in many regards on applying DSM-5-TR to forensic psychological work but will also be relevant to general mental health practitioners and applied clinical and clinical forensic settings. Each section will tie back to forensic psychological practice; will not focus on therapeutic practice.*
This training is intended for early-career mental health professionals. It will also be appropriate for mid- and later-career mental health professionals who are interested in an overview of key changes from DSM-5 to DSM-5-TR.
