You will understand the new classification of personality disorders, mood disorders, and stress-related disorders in ICD-11.
You will learn the differential diagnosis between symptoms typical of personality, mood, and stress-related disorders, and distinguish them from other conditions (e.g., early symptoms of psychosis, neurodevelopmental disorders).
You will learn to recognize co-occurrence of disorders (comorbidity) within these diagnostic groups and understand its impact on treatment planning.
You will learn about the „red flags” indicating an urgent need for psychiatric consultation (e.g. risk of suicide, auto-aggression, psychotic symptoms).
You’ll understand the importance of a medical interview and psychiatric examination in a comprehensive patient assessment. You’ll learn how a psychologist can assist by gathering the appropriate information.
You will learn to collaborate effectively with a psychiatrist, using the common ICD-11 diagnostic language and building integrated treatment plans.
You will receive an official certificate of completion of the training, confirming your qualifications and an additional distinction.
The training is aimed at psychologists, psychotherapists working with children and adolescents, and mental health specialists interested in updating their knowledge based on ICD-11.
The dynamics of childhood and adolescent development often make the symptoms of mental disorders complex and difficult to classify unambiguously. The new ICD-11 classification introduces significant changes, particularly in the area of personality disorders (moving to a dimensional model) and specifying criteria for mood and stress-related disorders. As a psychologist or psychotherapist, you are at the forefront of contact with young patients. Understanding the psychiatric diagnostic perspective is crucial to accurately distinguish between similar clinical presentations and early recognition of signals requiring urgent psychiatric intervention.
This training will provide you with the tools to gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of developmental psychopathology, which will translate into greater effectiveness in your clinical work.
