Mental Status Examination for Personality Disorders is for clinical
students, interns, residents, and practicing professionals who want
to painlessly perfect their evaluation skills. It explains how to
perform and interpret a validated DSM-5 and ICD-10 mental status
examination specifically designed for patients with personality
disorders and demonstrated in the American Journal of Psychiatry,
Psychiatry Research, Biological Psychiatry, Psychiatric Services,
and Psychological Reports. Mental Status Examination for
Personality Disorders then introduces you to 32 challenging,
real-life patients who were given the same mental status
examination. They tell you their stories as if you were their
personal clinician and you diagnose their problems. You will learn
from patients with Borderline, Narcissistic, Histrionic, Avoidant,
Dependent, Obsessive-Compulsive, Schizoid, Schizotypal, Paranoid,
Passive-Aggressive, Antisocial, and Psychopathic Personalities plus
Conduct Disorder and Bipolar Disorder, Major Depression, Substance
Use Disorders, and other conditions that masquerade as personality
disorders. American Psychiatric Association (DSM-5) and World
Health Organization (ICD-10) codes are explained in detail. Every
step of the diagnostic thinking process is explained, so that when
you see a difficult personality disordered patient in the emergency
room, hospital, clinic, private office, or forensic setting, you
will know just what to do. Mental Status Examination for
Personality Disorders explains the nature of each personality
disorder and how to interview and treat patients with personality
disorders in clinical settings. The text explains the Personality
Inventory Scales, an evaluation tool for personality disorders, and
The Card Test Cognitive Examination that measures attention,
language, memory, abstract thinking, and sequential thinking
(executive function). You receive model interview scripts and
questionnaires for your patients to fill out in advance.
Specialized information on defenses, coping strategies, cognitive
deficits, and the best therapeutic techniques for patients with
each personality disorder are provided in each case. A large
section on Resources completes the volume. Time is precious for
clinicians-we care for our patients, meet with their families,
attack mountains of paperwork, and complete the requirements of our
ongoing education. Diagnostic skill is essential for our success.
