As it stands, the DSM fails to address important sources of
strength and resiliency that can significantly affect diagnosis and
treatment. The authors of this transformative volume propose
enhancements to the current diagnostic and classification system
that encompass the biopsychosocial, cultural, and spiritual milieus
of individuals and acknowledge the strengths originating from
personal, family, and community resources. This proposed Axis VI
addresses contextual and individual factors related to diversity,
equity, and resiliency, thereby enabling an understanding of the
whole person and offering significant resources for treatment.
Within each chapter the authors demonstrate the use of
strength-based multicultural diagnostic processes and application
of Axis VI to specific disorders, including mood disorders, anxiety
disorders, conduct disorders, oppositional/defiant disorder,
dementia/Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia and other psychoses,
and substance-related and co-occurring disorders. The text also
reviews relevant etiology and evidence-based research for each
disorder and highlights current strength-based and culturally
competent approaches to diagnosis and treatment. For the utmost
clarification, case vignettes for each disorder describe diagnosis
with and without the use of Axis VI. Key Features: Demonstrates the
potential of a strength-based, culturally competent approach to
improve mental health diagnosis and treatment Addresses current
perspectives on the role of biological, genetic, and psychosocial
factors in mental illness Includes current research on the course
of illness and findings on co-occurring disorders, as well as risk
and protective factors Identifies evidence-informed practice that
builds on neurobiological and psychosocial findings Explores
factors related to social justice and disempowerment issues in
relation to disorders Offers current findings from equity and
diversity-based research Reviews current DSM-5 discussion of
specific disorders Presents case vignettes including their
multiaxial diagnosis with and without Axis VI
