25 Aug Does your chosen case study present a potential dual diagnosis?
Week 7 Assignment: Biopsychosocial Assessment
In this assignment, you will practice the process of intake assessment via a biopsychosocial form and draw conclusions about what your next steps would be after this assessment. Consider what you have learned about multicultural and ethical facets of diagnostic impression as well as the key diagnostic characteristics of various disorders common to a co-occurring disorder scenario.
Read the Case Studies file linked in the assignment resources, and select one of the case studies provided for you: Tyrell, Marifel, or Miguel. Using that client information, complete the Biopsychosocial Assessment Form (also linked in the assignment resources). Save and attach the Biopsychosocial Assessment Form to your assignment submission. In addition, write a paper that addresses the following questions:
● Does your chosen case study present a potential dual diagnosis? ● Beyond what you were able to gather for the Biopsychosocial Assessment Form, is there additional clinical information you would need in order to formulate a diagnostic impression?
● Are there other assessments you would want the client to complete, and if so, what are they?
● How would you use the DSM-5-TR to begin the process of forming diagnostic impressions?
● What are your initial impressions of what treatment options may be most applicable?
● How would you apply key principles of mental health and addictions treatment to this case?
● How would you identify strategies for diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of any co-occurring mental health issues for your culturally diverse client?
