 Comprehensive Mental Health Diagnosis of TFC PopulationsWhen: Monday, August 2, 2010 1:30PM-5:00PM Where: Nashville, Tennessee Dr. Alexander will be presenting at the 24th annual Foster Family-Based Treatment Association Conference on Treatment Foster Care in Washington, DC. Most youth in Treatment Foster Care (TFC) meet criteria for one or more mental health diagnoses. Diagnostic status often determines who is accepted into TFC and length of stay. While common diagnoses include Posttraumatic Stress, Oppositional Defiant, and Bipolar Disorders, TFC agencies are treating children with more complex conditions such as Pervasive Developmental Disorders, Sexual Disorders, Cognitive problems, etc. Participants will learn techniques for diagnosing youth of all ages using DSM-IV-TR criteria, as well as skills for integrating this data into treatment and discharge planning. Pending changes in DSM-V will also be discussed, with a review of the implications for TFC populations.

How a child copes with this often depends upon the ways in which adults help her to develop context and meaning for what is happening. Drawing from attachment theory and a review of clinical research, this workshop will address the ways disruptions in parent-child relationships affect children and their subsequent psychological development. This 3-hour workshop is offered for students, clinicians (3 CE credit available) and the general public.
