Reviews"Overall Quality of text: Very Good. Strengths: effective use of the Strength and Person in Environment Perspective in diagnosis. Very readable particularly for mental health providers and graduate students of psychology and social work practice. I definitely will adopt the fourth Edition of this text--Very succinct, clear with examples that are very practical. A score of 10 on a scale of 1 to 10." -- Emeka Nwadiora, Associate Professor of Public Health at Temple University "The text is thorough and comprehensive and the social work perspective is appreciated. The subtitles and headings are easily accessed." -- Ingrid Slikkers, Assistant Professor of Social Work at Andrews University "This is an excellent textbook. Overall, the quality of the text comes from the ability of the authors to bring a social work lens to the work of assessment and diagnosis using a manual that is based in a Western, medical model approach to mental health (the DSM 5). Each chapter addresses risk factors, protective factors, and resilience, as well as cultural considerations. The case examples, treatment plan ideas, lists of assessment tools and measures, and focus on evidence-based treatment are all significant strengths of the text." -- Eileen Dombo, Associate Professor of Social Services at The Catholic University of America "Clinical Assessment and Diagnosis in Social Work Practice is an excellent text covering the most important topics relevant to social workers conducting behavioral health assessments. The writing is crystal clear and the text provides all of the important diagnostic information for each disorder from a social work lens. The provision of relevant epidemiological information, co-morbidities and disorder specific risk and protective factors from a biological, psychological and social lens are extremely helpful." -- Michael Mancini, Associate Professor at Saint Louis University School of Social Work, "This is an excellent textbook.

SynopsisClinical Assessment and Diagnosis in Social Work Practice integrates six different perspectives (the DSM, a critique of the DSM, a risk and resilience biopsychosocial framework, evidence-based practices, measurement tools for assessment and evaluation, and a life-span approach) in order to teach diagnosis with the values and principles of social work practice. A consistent and modular chapter structure enables students to navigate each disorder in a systematic fashion and allows them to make comparisons between disorders. The authors reconstruct in-depth cases to teach students critical thinking in the diagnostic process., In Clinical Assessment and Diagnosis in Social Work Practice , seasoned practitioner-scholars Jacqueline Corcoran and Joseph Walsh provide an in-depth exploration of sixteen major mental disorders that social workers commonly see in practice, including anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. They skillfully integrate several perspectives in order to help practitioners meet the challenges they will face in client assessment, and present a risk and resilience framework that helps social workers understand environmental influences on the emergence of mental disorders and the strengths that clients already possess. The authors also catalog the latest evidence-based assessment instruments and treatments for each disorder so that social workers can intervene efficiently and effectively, using the best resources available. Students and practitioners alike will appreciate the wealth of case examples, evidence-based assessment instruments, treatment plans, and new social diversity sections that make this an essential guide to the assessment and diagnostic processes in social work practice., In Clinical Assessment and Diagnosis in Social Work Practice, seasoned practitioner-scholars Jacqueline Corcoran and Joseph Walsh provide an in-depth exploration of sixteen major mental disorders that social workers commonly see in practice, including anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.
