These recordings are designed to enhance your skill in rapidly formulating differential diagnoses based on clinical case material.

DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS CD/Tape #1 (children and adolescents) and #2 (adults) offer an analysis of clinical vignettes. Using these audiotapes, you will learn to identify a range of possible diagnoses for a given set of presenting symptoms, then to identify the additional assessment informant needed to rule in or rule out each diagnostic possibility.
Tape 3, TREATMENT APPROACHES BY DIAGNOSIS, is designed to enhance your skill in developing effective, individualized treatment plans consistent with current practice guidelines.
