Assessment of Co-Occurring Disorders

In our work, we often encounter people with mental health disorders that also struggle with symptoms of substance use disorders. The two together can be overwhelming to treat and difficult to diagnose.  This class looks at diagnosing co-occurring disorders in particular, approaching this from several perspectives in order to create a multi-dimensional understanding of co-occurring disorders.

It does this by reviewing the DSM-V-TR and cross-referencing it with the work of E. Morton Jellinek as well as the insight we all have into substance use disorders based on understanding these conditions as a family disease; while many clinicians, particularly new ones, can feel lost when it comes to understanding and treating substance use, it is likely that we all know people who struggle with this class of disorders.
