- Consider the diagnosis that would best fit Jane’s presenting concerns.
- Read the handout, Jane: Diagnostic Conceptualization Example, in the Learning Resources and render a diagnosis based on the case study.
- Imagine you are completing your second counseling session with Jane during which you will discuss the diagnosis that you have rendered.
- Think about the ethical concerns you will need to consider when delivering the diagnosis to Jane.
- A discussion of the diagnostic criteria delivered in a way Jane can understand
- An explanation to Jane about how her symptoms match the diagnostic criteria
