O knihe

This essential companion to the DSM uniquely integrates intersectionality and resilience to help
mental health practitioners assess clients from a strength-based perspective. The third edition
expands the section on neurocognitive disorders to include traumatic brain injury, includes more
information on assessment and treatment of common childhood disorders, and brings a new
focus to today's culture wars and their impact on mental health professionals, policy, and clients.
Also new to the third edition is an emphasis on meta-analysis literature and a module on
well-being discussing neuroscience and wellness concepts in relation to a strength-based
approach to diagnosis.
By demonstrating how to practically integrate diversity and intersectionality into the diagnostic
process rather than limiting assessment to a purely problem-focused diagnostic label, this
successful textbook strengthens the DSM for social workers and other mental health practitioners
by promoting the inclusion of intersectionality, resiliency, culture, spirituality, and community into
practice. It includes multiple case studies featuring complex, real-life scenarios that offer a greater
depth of learning by demonstrating how a strength-based assessment of the whole person can
lead to more effective and successful treatment. Discussion questions promote critical thinking,
key points in each chapter highlight and reinforce important concepts, and abundant web
resources encourage additional study. The book also includes a robust instructor package.
