Ethical Diagnostic Decision-Making 
In-Person Ethics Workshop
Saturday June 10th, 2023 from 2:00 PM to 5:15 PM
HALO Project at 401 E Memorial Road, Oklahoma City

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).
​
Treatment Objectives Include:
​

-To learn how to ethically evaluate a client's diagnostic pattern to deliver symptom-congruent interventions in therapy.-To become critical thinkers related to diagnosis in the service of improving outcomes in therapy.-To continue to challenge therapists to be life-long learners, pulling from current research to understand the complexities of comorbid diagnoses and how the system of mental health can work together more effectively to alleviate suffering.
