Essentials of Mental Health Assessment: Differential Diagnosis, the Mental Status Exam, and the DSM
Course offered by UW Oshkosh
This workshop presents the use of the Mental Status Exam (MSE) and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) in conducting a proper differential diagnosis.

Aspects of the history and characteristics of the DSM will be briefly presented, to provide a context for appreciating the uses and abuses of diagnostic labeling. Controversies around particular diagnoses will be noted, as will issues regarding genderand cultural biases.
