Assessment and Diagnosis
Write out the diagnosis you developed for the client, using the definitions and format in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), and identify the related ICD 10 code.
Question 1: Discuss the process you used to formulate your assessment and diagnosis for this client.
Question 2: How did you incorporate information collected from the client during the first sessions to reach this diagnosis?
Question 3: Did you utilize any self-report instruments (such as symptom checklists, anxiety inventories, depression scales, or other assessment processes)? If so how did this information help you to formulate a diagnosis?
Question 4: Did you consult with any other persons about the client (with his or her written permission) such as parents, teachers, physicians, and past therapists?
Question 5: Which socio-cultural factors did you need to consider when conceptualizing your client's case and formulating your diagnosis?
Question 6: Describe how the assessment and diagnosis process was integrated into your theoretical approach for working with the client. Did the information you gathered and the diagnosis you formulated assist you in working from this theoretical perspective more effectively? If so, provide examples; if not, discuss the reasons why.
