Diagnosis 0-3: What could the problem be?

Presented by Dr Beate Harrison

This seminar will look at assessment for social and emotional disorders in the infant and toddler in the context of their family. We will discuss common symptoms and Mental State Examination signs and how these relate to current DSM-V and DC: 0-3R classification systems and use of standardised tools. Specific examples of PTSD and anxiety in this age group will be considered.
