Casebook for DSM®: Diagnosis and Treatment Planning, 3rd Edition (Original PDF from Publisher)

Distinguished by its use of real-world case examples to help students link DSM® criteria with client symptoms. This graduate-level casebook shows students how to apply the DSM® in real clinical practice through complex, real-life cases. Each case illustrates how a client’s background and history inform diagnosis, pairing DSM®criteria with symptomatology and offering detailed analyses of treatment interventions and client management. A consistent case format—client overview, symptoms, diagnosis, and interventions—allows readers to form their own diagnostic impressions before seeing expert commentary. Ideal for courses in psychopathology, diagnosis, practicum, and internship, the textbook enriches classroom learning with cases drawn from practicing professionals. The textbook includes cases in each category, an expanded table of contents organized by disorder type, additional discussion questions, and a final review chapter. By exploring the reasoning behind diagnostic criteria, the book provides trainees in counseling, marriage and family therapy, psychology, and social work an opportunity to examine their own ideas on symptom presentation, diagnosis, and treatment planning with a full complement of disorders and conditions covered in the DSM®. Unlock your free eBook with your print purchase—accessible anytime on Springer Publishing Connect!
