health field. This title is also available as a more affordable

Organized by types of disorders, Mental Health in Social Work: A
Casebook on Diagnosis and Strengths-Based Assessment emphasizes
DSM diagnoses of mental disorders that are commonly seen in
clinical and social service settings.  Becoming conversant

reader will also learn to understand clients holistically as they
proceed with the assessment and intervention process.

In this update, the ordering of the chapters and content in the
chapters themselves have been revised to reflect the changes in the
DSM-5. Learning objectives are now included in each chapter.
