Product Description
The purpose of this workbook is to facilitate student's understanding of the DSM IV and other texts related to the diagnoses of mental disorders. It is designed to enhance the student's ability to assess clients' strengths and to diagnose any emotional difficulties the client may be experiencing. It will provide students with the opportunity to practice their assessment skills in a classroom environment prior to entering the field as a mental health professional. Students will not only learn the various diagnostic categories of the DSM IV but also how to apply these categories to clients they will be seeing in practice. It will aid students in understanding dual diagnoses, symptom formulation, and the overlap between diagnostic categories.

The Clinical Assessment Workbook: Balancing Strengths and Differential DiagnosisEven though it is costly, it is a good book for case studies and the practice of skills.
 Workbook? August 12, 2008
B. Young (Clinton, UT USA)
I purchased this book for school. The book basically summarizes the DSM-IV-TR. The case examples are interesting but the book provides no feedback on the cases. You are left in the dark with a hope that you balanced strengths and that you came up with the right diagnosis. The cases also lead you to make many assumptions of a clients strengths.
