Most especially for the simple English!~ "Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal."--Albert Camus Sent from my VZW BlackBerryFrom: rogernmeyer@...Sender: aspires-relationships Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2012 16:39:49 -0700 (GMT-07:00)To: <aspires-relationships >; AspiresRelationships<aspires-relationships >ReplyTo: aspires-relationships Subject: Re: Re: Please - I need a contact nearAnchorage AK... , A differential diagnosis in mental health is performed by a medical or psychological specialist who has extra training to be able to rule "in" or "out" a named, suspected condition with a much higher degree of certainty than the ordinary clinician. Some differential diagnosticians make such a specialty of their work that they do not have clinical practices, but only "do" diagnosis. Some diagnosticians will only accept referrals from other medical specialists. Many of them are so experienced in diagnosing that they are willing to defend their diagnoses in legal hearings, something many other clinicians will not do. Their work represents the highest, most "certain" level of labeling one can buy. A differential diagnosis is often sought when there's been a history of misdiagnosis with an individual, or there are so many questions to be answered about a suspected condition that a professional with lots ofexperience providing authoritative diagnoses is needed."Definitive" is not a clinical term with any precise meaning. It's an adjective. N. Meyer Re: Re: Please - I need a contact near Anchorage AK... What is the difference between a definitive dx and a differential dx?
