Psychosocial Pathology and Social Work Practice (Paperback)

Psychosocial Pathology and Social Work Practice provides readers with an overview of mental health disorders and their criteria according to the DSM-5, as well as practical information to guide them through assessment and the differential diagnosis process. The opening chapter provides readers with an introduction to psychosocial pathology and social work. Additional chapters examine neurodevelopmental disorders, schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma- and stressor-related disorders, gender dysphoria, and substance-related and addictive disorders, among others. Each chapter of the text provides racial, ethnic, cultural, and gendered consideration of each diagnosis; a complex multidimensional case study; a full diagnosis; a detailed explanation of how the diagnoses were determined; and a decision tree for each diagnosis. Psychosocial Pathology and Social Work Practice is an ideal resource to help graduate-level social work students develop practical skills in applying the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria to actual cases. It is also a valuable resource for practitioners for assessment and treatment planning.
