Diagnostic
Assessment |
| CEUs: |
30 Contact
Hours (3.0 CEU's) |
| Cost: |
$159.00 |
| Description:
|
NOTE TO CLINICIANS:
Vampire Royalty: The Rebellion, was written as a fiction,
horror novel. However, because of the psychodynamic
plot, and the manner in which the subjects interact
and behave, the book and posttest were forwarded to
the National Board for Clinical Counselors (NBCC) for
approval as a homestudy program on diagnostic assessement.
Subsequently, NBCC approved this program for 3 CEU's
(30 contact hours) towards state licensure.
The
material in this book may be looked at in two diverse
ways. The subject matter is based on a fictionalized
theme with fictionalized characters. However,
the way this book should be considered, is for the clinician
to view the subjects as they would if they scheduled
a client for a mental health assessment. The clinician
would interview the client to determine his current
mental status, explore psychosocial information during
the assessment, determine diagnoses, and develop a treatment
plan. It is with this in mind, that the readers
must focus their attention to the intrapsychic dynamics,
and interpersonal development of each character, and
their psychological state of mind. The material,
theme and characters, therefore, become real and are
the impetus for the clinicians assessment and diagnoses.

Description: |
|
| DSICA
is an easily used screening tool that collates diagnostic
categories according to the new DSM-V (when availble).
It is especially useful in delineating symptoms
from behavioral characteristics in children and
adolescents who may be suspected ofcluster of symptomatic
complaints listed on Axis I of the DSM-V. Proper
diagnoses therefore, requires specific clinical
data to accurately differentially diagnose the condition
presented to the clinician.
The DSICA has
187 questions that can be answered on the computer
or on a hard form. The hard form can be
easily imputed to the DSICA computer program.
Results of the DSICA are computer generated and
collated in a clinical format that allows the
clinician, client/patient, and informant to assess
a clear picture of the client's/patient's psychopathology
as it is related to the diagnostic criteria in
the DSM-IV. The results clearly delineate
psychiatric/psychological symptoms from manifest
behavioral or characterological traits.
For those who already have
purchased the orginal DSM-IV DSICA version, you
will be able
to purchase an updated v.2 for a discounted
price when available.

CHILD CUSTODY EVALUATORS CERTIFICATION TRAINING TESTIMONIALS
Although licensed mental health professionals may be cognizant of the
statutes pertaining to the laws and rules governing his/her states
practice guidelines, and clinical practice issues pertaining to their
level of education, training and experience,
they are generally grossly unfamiliar with child custody issues as it
pertains to assessment, reports, ethical issues, mandatory disclosures,
fees, risk factors, court and legal matters, recommendations, testimony
and a host of other related forensic mental health matters.
The problems licensed mental health professionals face, when asked to evaluate
and testify on behalf of their clients, usually leads to confusion, poor
quality assessments and evaluations, inadequate reports and defective
inept testimony that could seriously jeopardize the outcome of the
trial.
Dr. Norman Hoffman's Child Custody Evaluator's
Certification Training Manual instantly brings into focus, to both
mental health professionals and attorneys, the critical issues which
must be addressed under Florida law in child custody cases.-
Dawn Nichols, Esquire FL Bar No. 971839
Child Custody Evaluator's Certification
Training is a valuable tool for attorneys involved in contested custody
proceedings. It combines the legal aspects of child custody litigation
with the practical facet of child custody evaluations from the
prospective of the expert evaluator -
Rick Brown, J.D. Daytona Beach Family Law Attorney Certified by the
Florida Supreme Court as a Family Law Mediator
Dr. Hoffman's training program is an excellent
guide for all mental health professionals and those involved in the
legal profession who work with families going through divorce. This
training reminds/teaches the professional to remain unbiased and keep
the child's interest in the forefront regardless of the emotionality of
the family dynamics. -
