Week 5 Discussion Board

For this week, we will add to the skill of preparing a diagnosis by adding the biopsychosocial risk/resiliency assessment to our framework. Please complete the “Template for Preparing Diagnosis for Chapter Case Study” in Appendix A in your textbook (p. 216) again in addition to creating a biopsychosocial risk/resiliency assessment for the case study: Ms. Daniels at the end of chapter 6 and starting on page 77 in the textbook. Please complete the diagnosis, rationale, and additional information needed sections in addition to the biopsychosocial risk tables related to both onset of disorder and course of disorder.

For the diagnosis section: please list which DSM diagnosis you feel is primary for the case study.

In the rationale section, you will need to list all the diagnostic criteria for that particular diagnosis and the information from the case study that supports each criteria (i.e., if your diagnosis has 4 criteria – you will need to list each and the symptom that the client is exhibiting that meets that specific criterion – it is not sufficient to simply state “yes” or “no” in this section – provide additional details from the case).

In the additional information section, please list out all the additional information that is pertinent to the case and any additional information you might want to obtain.

Please also include your biopsychosocial risk/resiliency factors for onset of the disorder, making sure you are including all of them and noting whether they are present or not in this particular case study.

Please also do the same with the biosocial risk/resiliency factors for the course of the disorder.
