What This Program is About
This presentation by a forensic psychiatrist will address the extent of and cost of emotional/psychiatric claims in the workplace, as well as the contexts and ways in which they may present. Many such claims present via physical presentations where emotional factors have a significant contribution. Specific diagnoses including somatoform disorders, anxiety, PTSD and depression will be addressed. Methods of assessment as well as limitations to assessment will be covered. The distinction between actual impairment vs. claimed limitations will be discussed. Other special problems including challenges in forensic assessment and ways in which the claims manager may improve assessments will be addressed. Factors that contribute to claims incidence as well as reduce claims occurrence and costs will be discussed. A question and answer period will complete the presentation.
