Overview

Mental Health in Social Work: A Casebook on Diagnosis and Strengths-Based Assessment emphasizes gaining competency in the DSM-5 diagnoses of mental disorders that are commonly seen in clinical and social service settings. Using a case-based approach, the text helps you learn to understand clients holistically as you proceed with the assessment and intervention process.

The 3rd Edition includes new chapters on obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and gender dysphoria. Additional content on socially diverse populations has been integrated throughout the text. New Questions to Consider for making a DSM diagnosis are included with each case study. Many chapters now include boxes that discuss how socially diverse populations are affected by the disorders discussed.
