Course Description:
This training is designed to help participants develop an understanding of basic diagnostic criteria and treatment approaches for dealing with disruptive behavior disorders. Assessment, differential diagnoses to consider, treatment goals, and associated evidence-informed approaches are presented to help the practitioner address identified client problem areas for successful outcome. The role of parenting and family dynamics in the diagnosis and treatment of disruptive behavior disorders will also be addressed.
