| Summary |
Working with young people is hard. Watch this seminar recording and take home a comprehensive view of childhood development and knowledge of which behaviors are age appropriate and which are not. You will understand diagnostic distinctions when behaviors overlap and a no-nonsense view of treatment - skeptical but informed. Most training workshops address one or two of these issues, but not all three. Dr. Mays provides a view of childhood and adolescent disorders in a developmental context, including a perspective on resulting pathology in adults. This seminar recording addresses diagnostic problems, using DSM-IV-TRTM and the proposed revisions for DSM-5TM as a starting point. Finally, it scrutinizes the evidence for treatment efficacy from a prescriber's perspective. Life in the 21st century is full of challenges for young people - fragmented neighborhoods and families, child-focused media and culture driven by economic exploitation, the perils of the Internet, and sky-high expectations for academic and social success. The reality is that many kids are not doing well - the latest Army statistics show that 75 percent of military-age youth are ineligible to join the military because they are overweight, can't pass entrance exams, have dropped out of high school or had run-ins with the law. Become better informed as a mental health professional in helping your young clients cope |
