Description

Must use: DSM-5 Book

Case Study

Prompt:

For this Diagnostic Case Conceptualization assignment, you will review and choose ONE of the case vignettes below and write-up the correct diagnosis [Remember, like with previous Diagnostic Case Conceptualization assignments, the correct diagnoses will be found within the Schizophrenia Spectrum and other Psychotic Disorders section of DSM-5]. These case studies are to help you prepare as a future clinician. Remember, that as graduate students and future clinicians, it is imperative that you are well versed in evidenced-based treatments and ways of understanding how to work within a diverse world.

To assist you in this process, just as it is important to understand evidenced-based treatments for specific diagnoses/symptoms, it is also essential that you learn how to find them and stay relevant with the research as treatments and conceptualizations change and advance. It will be important to integrate at least three relevant articles into answering the below questions. Remember to apply APA writing rules with correct formatting (e.g., title page, headings, subheadings, spacing, indentations, etc.), correct citations, and references (with reference page) to give credit and reference to the source of the claims/points you will make. Your paper should be 3 – 5 pages in length; you must be both succint and thorough.

Your Tasks:

In order to provide the most comprehensive diagnosis that accounts for the client’s symptom presentation, this assignment will require you to:

Read the Case Study Vignette carefully, organizing the symptoms and other relevant factors.

Review and apply your material, along with outside resources from your own research, for this week to complete this assignment.

Identify and correctly code the most comprehensive diagnosis that accounts for the unique client presentation.

Succinctly and completely justify the diagnosis by linking symptoms with the specific diagnostic criteria they satisfy.

Provide two diagnoses you considered but ruled out. Remember to be very succinct on this section. Only identify the main symptom(s)/criterion that helped you rule out these diagnoses

After you have formally coded the diagnosis and thoroughly justified that diagnosis, you all will now:

Create a formal treatment plan with at least 1 long-term goal and 3 short-term goals (Remember, goals need to be SMART: Smart, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely). Remember, with the formal treatment plan to be succinct

After writing the formal treatment plan, explain the rationale for the evidenced-based treatments and interventions that can alleviate the symptom severity and or treat the client. Make sure that you support your claims with evidence

Discuss this diagnosis and treatment approach from a biopsychosocial model, which will require you to:

Describe the role biology plays with individuals who meet full criteria for your assigned diagnosis. Things to consider include, physical influences/symptoms, medication considerations examining their role and side effects, etc.

Discuss the emotional and mental impact on the individual assigned the diagnosis

What are the social impacts of the assigned diagnosis?

Along with the social impacts, consider the unique cultural impacts of this diagnosis within particular groups (e.g., Hispanic).
