Sommario/riassunto

Clinical Assessment and Diagnosis in Social Work Practice surveys common mental disorders that individuals may demonstrate over their lifespan, and teaches social workers how to diagnose them according to the DSM-5. The medical model of the DSM is counterbalanced by social work values and principles and an appreciation for the environmental context of individual behavior.
