Dsm-5-Tr(r) and Family Systems, (Paperback)

Offers useful strategies for creating rapport between the linear-focused DSM-5-TR and the circular causality approach of systems-oriented clinicians

With a focus on clinical applications, this unique text for students of diagnosis, family systems, counseling, and other mental health disciplines demonstrates how to use the DSM-5-TR to aid assessment, diagnosis, treatment planning, and intervention from a relational perspective. With detailed descriptions, the second edition is updated to foster greater understanding of interpersonal problems associated with onset, progression, and expression of psychiatric systems while incorporating the specific parameters of parent, child, sibling, extended family, and significant other issues in overall clinical formulation.

The new edition delves more deeply into relational and cultural features, family systems assessment, family systems interventions, and ethical and legal implications when working with identified DSM-5-TR disorders. New case conceptualizations address the "new normal" of working in a telehealth environment along with the impact of COVID-19 and racial and social injustice. Every chapter encompasses the latest DSM updates and current literature, and new chapter Test Banks and PowerPoints enhance the instructor resources. With each chapter focusing on a specific diagnosis or category of diagnoses, the book analyzes all DSM-5-TR domains, discusses the impact of diagnoses on the entire family, and introduces various assessments and interventions. Purchase includes digital access for use on most mobile devices or computers.
