CASE: A Practical Interviewing Strategy to Assess Suicidal IdeationWednesday, April 6, 2016

Program #3

This workshop teaches the CASE Method (The Chronological Assessment of Suicide Events), a simple interview for the assessment of suicidal intent. The CASE Method is an evidence-based, practical interviewing strategy for the elicitation of suicidal ideation that may be completed in 8 minutes in any clinical setting. CASE Method was created for use in a variety of settings and may be applied in law enforcement settings, outpatient clinics, inpatient units, school counseling centers, emergency departments, telephone crisis centers and wherever need exists. It is appropriate for use by medical and psychiatric professionals as well as non-medical professionals who require interviewing skills to assess suicidal intent.

A strategy for assessing self-harm will be presented, based partly on the Ontario Self-Harm Inventory and interwoven with other practical considerations. Treatment approaches to reduce self-harm are presented, including psychological approaches, the use of Temporary Tattoos, and the use of Cognitive Bias Modification strategies. Case examples of self-harm will also be presented.

Program #5

Beginning with a historical overview, this workshop presents an up to date review of psychological, biological, and environmental factors associated with the development of schizophrenia. Possible early warning symptoms of schizophrenia are discussed in perspective. DSM V diagnostic criteria are clarified, and differential diagnostic procedures are offered to help clinicians distinguish schizophrenia from other psychotic presentations. Attenuated Psychosis Syndrome (APS) is also discussed in this process. Screening tools, including the Positive and Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS) are presented and treatment options are discussed. Diagnostic tools include assessment for potential danger and violence. Case examples are employed in this process, bringing clinical data to life, in an easily understood framework, to facilitate application in a variety of practice settings.
