Schwitzer, Old Dominion University • Lawrence C. Rubin, St. Thomas University Diagnosis and Treatment Planning Skills helps students develop critical skills in diagnosis, case conceptualization, and treatment planning by presenting a series of diagnostic cases based on characters from popular culture. The text offers a unique and engaging way to help students practice these vital skills on characters that are familiar from the popular media. This approach has been used by the authors in their classes for years and has been very popular among students. Each case is presented in an easy-to-read format and the authors provide an introduction to the character, a basic case summary, case conceptualization, diagnostic impressions, the treatment plan, and pedagogical features such as a summary, study questions, and learning activities. This new edition has been fully updated to accommodate DSM-5.
