Assignment 1: please write at least 250 words APA format and relevant sources (textbook, and 2 other sources)
1. Define a “psychodiagnostic” and its a role in the treatment of mental disorders.
The DSM 5 and the ICD 10 codes provide healthcare workers with a common way of talking with each other about illness. As professional counselors, we work with other practitioners such as psychiatrists, primary care physicians, social workers, psychologists, physical/occupational therapists, etc.
While the importance of an actual diagnosis cannot be overlooked, we must always keep in mind what can be done to help the client to live optimally.
2. It is helpful when conceptualizing a case that the intensity, duration, and frequency of the symptoms in the daily life of the client be considered. This information can help you to realize how “disabling” (mild, moderate, severe) the symptoms are for the client. How does this information relate to the DSM 5 and the ICD 10?
3. Compare and contrast (be very specific) the following assessment techniques, and their role/impact on diagnosis: Interviews/MSE, Psychological Tests and Inventories, Tests of Cognitive and Neurological Functioning, Self Report Inventories.
