Challenging behaviors in childhood and adolescence can be difficult to translate to diagnostic criteria.  This workshop aims to support mental health professionals in engaging in a differential diagnosis process specifically focused on behavior disorders that occur in childhood. Topics will include connections and overlap of diagnostic criteria; as well as an in-depth analysis of a number of DSM-V diagnoses, including Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), Conduct Disorder, Intermittent Explosive Disorder, Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD); and other Anxiety and Trauma-and Stressor Related Disorders.   Key symptoms for each diagnosis will be explored in detail.  Case Studies will be used to demonstrate the case conceptualization and assessment process. 

Learning Objectives:

1- Participants will explore the differences in common childhood behavior disorders in terms of diagnostic criteria contained in the DSM-5 and DSM-5-TR.

2- Participants will identify assessments and other tools to aid in the differential diagnosis process of childhood behavior disorders to narrow diagnosis and potential comorbidities.

3 - Participants will demonstrate the differential diagnosis process among childhood behavior disorders through case study conceptualization, assessment, and effective diagnostic interview techniques.
