DSM-5® Differential Diagnosis: Four Steps to Accurate Diagnosis
Copyright :
The DSM-5 diagnosis of clients would be straight-forward if clients arrived with clear symptoms and met all the diagnostic criteria of one mental disorder! However, most clients present with multiple problems and many overlapping symptoms such as anxiety, anger and impulsivity. Using an actual case, Dr. Margaret Bloom takes you step by step through the differential diagnosis process and the clinical reasoning skills you need to determine an initial DSM diagnosis list. You will learn a four-step process that will improve your diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning with complex, multi-problem clients.
