125 - Critical tools for Psychiatrists: Borrowing from the Forensic Toolbox PD PI
1.25 credits - Room: Breakers IJ |
Melissa Piasecki, MD, Professor of Psychiatry, Associate Dean Office of Faculty Affairs and Development University of Nevada Medical School

Psychiatrists face a daunting task every day- diagnosing patients using an imperfect diagnostic manual, limited data and external pressures. Problems with diagnosis can impact treatment outcomes and clinician liability. Tools used in forensic psychiatry may improve diagnostic validity and reliability in clinical psychiatric practice. This session will review some of the problems we face in psychiatric diagnosis as well as a practical comparison of how clinical and legal decision makers use "evidence," explore uncertainty and avoid pitfalls. The participants will identify pitfalls and potential remedies to a sample case. Upon the completion of this activity, participants will be able to: - Illustrate reliability of several DSM-IV diagnoses;
- Compare clinical and legal approaches to "the evidence" and decision making; and
- Identify tools that can enhance clinical diagnosis and management.
