Traditions of Formulation•Psychodynamic: Freud (1907)
•Psychobiology: Meyer (1948)•DSM 1-5 (1952-- )•Community Psychiatry•Bio-psycho-social: Engel (1977); Grinker
(1954?)•The Perspectives: McHugh and Slavney,

The Perspectives
•“... seeks to systematically apply the best work of behaviorists, psychotherapists, social scientists and other specialists long viewed as at odds with each other.”
![Page 7: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The Perspectives
• Disease perspective• Dimensional perspective• Behavioral perspective• Life Story perspective
![Page 8: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Disease Perspective• A disease is a mechanistic syndrome • What a person has• A disease requires cure or amelioration
![Page 9: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Disease Perspective• Parkinson’s • Schizophrenia• Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)?• Bipolar Disorder• Depression• Obsessive compulsive disorder• Tourette’s• ADHD• Etc.
![Page 10: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Dimensional Perspective• Intelligence• Learning Disorders• Communication issues• Personality• ASD?
![Page 11: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Dimensional Perspective
• A dimension has relative value• Who a person is• Dimensional extremes require guidance
![Page 12: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Temperament Example: ADHD• “Difficult”?• “Defiant”?• Unstable?• Extroverted?• Too open?• Disagreeable?• Not concientious?

The Behavioral Perspective• Motivated vs. Maladaptive behaviors• What a person does• Stop “bad” behavior
![Page 17: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Motivated Behaviors• Disorders of eating• Disorders of sleep• Disorders of sexual expression• Substance misuse
![Page 18: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Maladaptive Behaviors• Oppositional• Self-centered• Contextual• Often learned
![Page 19: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Life Story Perspective• The narrative of a person’s life• What a person (or others) understands about a
person’s experiences• Reframe negative life story concepts
![Page 20: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Framing Bias:Everyone is an Expert
![Page 23: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Diagnosis Stakeholders• Children and parents• Teachers, administrators, school personnel• Social workers and other therapists• Psychologists and other evaluators• Psychiatrists, pediatricians, neurologists• Academia• Pharmaceutica• Insurance companies• Pundits and politics
![Page 24: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Pharmaceutical Controversy:Stakeholders
• Federal Government• Academic Community• Treatment Community
![Page 25: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Assessment Errors• Cliché errors• Desperation• Insufficient data• Lack of comprehension• Misattribution errors• Misinformation• Oversimplification• Relationship errors• Reformulation to avoid labels/medications
![Page 26: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
“Expert” Errors
• Relationship errors• Primary attribution error• Misattribution errors• Cliché errors• Reformulated symptoms to avoid stimulants
![Page 27: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Primary Attribution Error
• Your behavior is suspect, based on your flaws• My behavior is a rational response to a situation
(including your flaws)
![Page 28: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
ADHD: Cliché Errors
• “S/He can concentrate when it’s something that s/he wants to do..”
• “S/He can sit still if s/he wants to…”• “Too much ____ (e.g. TV, video, computer, cell
phone, facebook, etc.) is all… ” • “S/He started faking it this year, when school got
hard…”
![Page 29: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
More Cliché Errors
• “In our day we didn’t have ADHD…”• “If ADHD exists, it’s not so bad…”• “I had ADHD and I turned out fine…”• “ADHD is over-diagnosed…”• “ADHD is over-treated…”
![Page 30: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Still More Cliché Errors
• “The real problem is the drug companies…• … the doctors…• … the teachers…• … the times we live in…• … those darn kids/parents... short cuts”
![Page 31: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
ADHD: Misattribution Errors
• Bad seed• Boys will be boys• Poor parenting• Normal response to stress
![Page 32: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
What is ADHD, Really?• Attention deficit: cannot ignore competing stimuli
• Hyperactive/Impulsive: equivalent
• Disorder of executive function (EF) • EF frames the ADHD symptoms
![Page 33: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
What is Executive Fx, Really?• “Whatever the frontal lobes do”- Denkla
• “Conscious direction … efficient processing of info.” -Stuss and Benson
• “Maintenance of behavior on a goal ... calibration... to context” - Pennington
• “Self regulation across time for the attainment of one’s goal... - Barkley
•

Self-Regulatory Mini-Modules (Barkley 2012)
• Inhibition• Self-directed sensory-motor actions • Self-directed attention • Working memory • Planning and problem solving • Self-motivation• Emotional self-regulation
![Page 35: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Impairment of Executive Function
• Activation• Attention• Effort• Emotion/Affect• Memory• Action•• Brown TE, 2000, 2008
![Page 36: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
DSM Evolution•I (1952) : Atheoretical, standardized
definitions•II (1968): “Legitimacy”, patient education•III (1980): More ICD, more reliability; Axis
I-V•III-R (1987): Same trends•IV (1994)/IV-TR (2000): Same trends,
behind quickly
![Page 37: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
DSM-5•“Transcend limitations... beyond current
ways of thinking”- but field not ready for a paradigm shift
•Empirical evidence grounds•Continuity•“Living, evolving document”•Aspirations: etiological, objective,
dimensional
![Page 38: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
DSM-5 Field Trial Design•11 centers,Test-retest reliability or
agreement: •Cohen’s Kappa: inter-rater reliability•DSM-5: 0.6-1 “very good”, cutoff-- 0.4-
0.6 “good”•0.2-0.4 “questionable”-- <0.2
“unacceptable”•DSM-III: cutoff-- 0.7-1 “good-very good”
![Page 39: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
![Page 40: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
DSM-5 Controversy•NIMH distancing from DSM-5•Strength in reliability, weakness in
validity•Will no longer fund research projects
that rely exclusively on DSM criteria•Research Domain Criteria (RDoC):
NIMH
![Page 41: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Research Domain Criteria (RDoC): Assumptions•Dx approach based on biology and
symptoms (not constrained by DSM-5) •Biological disorders/brain circuits implicate
specific domains of cognition, emotion, or behavior
•Each level of analysis... across a dimension of function
•Mapping cognitive, circuitry, and genetic aspects will yield new/better targets for treatment
![Page 42: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
RDoC•Negative Valence Systems•Positive Valence Systems•Cognitive Systems•Social Processing Systems•Arousal/Modulatory Systems
![Page 43: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Overview of Changes•Categorical to dimensional; early
detect/prevent•Dimensional measures included, e.g.
“cross-cutting symptom measure”, “WHODAS”, and “severity scale for schizophrenia”
•Axis I-V dismantled•NOS replaced: Other specified disorder,
Unspecified disorder•New disorders, “renamed” disorders
![Page 44: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
DSM-5: Axis I-V Replaced
•Non-axial documentation•Important psychosocial /contextual
factors (V and Z codes)•Disability (may be replaced with the
“WHODAS”)•GAF is eliminated (see above)
![Page 45: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
DSM-5 Metastructure
Changes•Regrouping of disorders•Putative underlying factors•Underlying vulnerabilities
•Groups juxtaposed by relationship•Within groups, ordered by age of
onset
![Page 46: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Pediatric Modifications•Shortened duration: cyclothymia- 1 year vs. 2 year
•Alternative symptom expression: MDD- irritable mood...
•Lowered symptom threshold: GAD- 1 from “C” in children
•Suspended criterion: OCD- behavior not aimed at alleviating anxiety
•Special criteria: PTSD age <6- only 1 symptom required- avoidance plus negative cognition/mood
![Page 47: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Life Cycle: ADHD Symptoms
•Preschool: more hyperkinesis•School age: inattention appears•Adolescence: inner restlessness•Adulthood: inattentive complaints,
but impulsivity reigns
![Page 48: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Elements of a DSM-5 Diagnosis
•Dx criteria•Dx subtypes and specifiers•Severity qualifiers are gone•Principal Dx•Provisional Dx - “strong presumption
full criteria will be met”
![Page 49: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Co-morbid vs. Diff. Dx?• Common disorders co-exist w ADHD• Common disorders also masquerade as ADHD
• Co-morbidity amplifies symptoms
![Page 50: How to Formulate a Diagnosis in Complicated Youth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/5681668d550346895dda586e/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

Formulation
• Chief complaint: “concerns” vs. “positions”• Clinicians “attribute” • Discern among DSM-5 nuances• Symptom presentation varies with age • Let the Perspectives dictate interventions
