2022 Workshop

8am - 11am CST

Introduction:
The Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP) is a new dimensional alternative to categorical diagnostic systems like the DSM and ICD. The Clinical Translation Workgroup is offering a two-day, six-hour workshop to provide training in applying HiTOP principles to clinical practice. Trainees who complete the workshop will learn how to assess and conceptualize symptoms though a HiTOP lens and integrate findings into treatment planning and monitoring. The workshop will also review how to apply principles to work with diverse and underserved populations. Training will include hands-on interactive discussion of cases, review of evidence and limits for the clinical utility of HiTOP relative to other systems, and practical considerations such as billing and reporting. Presenters are educators, clinicians, and researchers from the HiTOP consortium.
