This exciting online course allows psychologists to fulfill their mandated law and ethics continuing education requirements while exploring the ethical use of DSM-IV-TR system. We will examine the ethics of diagnosis using the DSM, using the Five Axial System of Diagnosis. The potential harm inherent in using diagnostic "labeling", and the risks and benefits to patients of receiving a DSM diagnosis, are discussed. Patient welfare and protection of patients' rights when using the DSM are covered in this online course.
This course also explores protecting you, the psychologist, from harm, by reviewing ethical billing practices, avoidance of fraudulent or misleading billing with managed care companies, confidentiality, privilege, and record-keeping, with special regard to diagnosis. We review major diagnosis, informed consent, proper billing and multicultural challenges. We examine legal and ethical standards to minimize the risk of malpractice civil suits.
