Description: Psychopathology : A Competency-Based Assessment Model for Social Workers, Paperback by Gray, Susan W.; Zide, Marilyn R., ISBN 1305101936, ISBN-13 9781305101937, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US This volume outlines a competency-based assessment model for social workers that draws on the the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) to diagnose specific mental disorders. It describes the new features of the DSM-5 and how to apply it diagnoses, and focuses on the biological, psychological, and social aspects of a person's life as part of the diagnostic process, rather than on character flaws or personal weakness, instead including a strengths-based orientation to assessment. This edition has more on the biopsychosocial framework to include the role of the brain and related systems in psychopathology. It has been reordered to match the organization of the DSM and includes discussion of changes to it. It removes the separate chapter on disorders of infancy, childhood, and adolescence; adds separate chapters on anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, and acute stress disorder; has updated discussion of prevailing patterns and differential diagnoses for specific disorders; has new and updated case stories; and adds summaries of changes to the DSM-5 in each chapter. It also integrates the new practice competencies of the Council on Social Work Education. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
