Produktbeschreibung
A competency-based assessment model integrating
DSM classifications for a complete, strengths-based diagnosis

Competency-Based Assessments in Mental Health Practice introduces a unique, competency-based assessment that presents a brief overview of the major mental disorders that practitioners will likely encounter in their work with clients, followed by a series of case studies and practical applications.

This book provides valuable guidance for clinicians to make assessments grounded in client strengths and possibilities for a more therapeutically complete picture of every client's "story."

Organized around selected diagnostic categories from the DSM-IV-TR, this hands-on guide offers a multidimensional look at the many factors that play a role in a client's life. Its holistic approach to the assessment process considers each client's unique experience with mental illness, through a concurrent evaluation of strengths and pathology, in order to set the stage for realistic optimism about the potential for change.

Rezensionen
"Competency-Based Assessments in Mental Health Practice should be required reading for all clinical practitioners and students. Author Susan Gray provides a competency-based assessment model that moves away from looking at mental illness as a "disease" to capturing people's strengths and the uniqueness of their experience with mental illness." --Alex Gitterman, Zachs Professor and Director of Ph.D. Program, University of Connecticut School of Social Work
