SOCW6090 Psychopathology and Diagnosis for Social Work Practice
Week 7 Discussion
Video Report of Your Case Consultation: Presenting and Validating Diagnosis
Post by Day 2 the following two pieces:
• Use the Kaltura Media uploader to upload a 3- to 5-minute video in which you:
o Briefly summarize your case, highlighting the diagnostic symptoms seen in the case.
o Describe your decision-making process for identifying the key problems in the case and the differential eliminations for your case.
o Identify the diagnosis of the client in the case. Explain the diagnosis by providing the supporting DSM-5 criteria with specific examples of how your client met those criteria.
Include a transcript and/or edit closed captioning on your video to ensure your presentation is accessible to colleagues of differing abilities.
• Post a fully coded DSM-5 diagnosis. Remember, a full diagnosis should include the name of the disorder, ICD-10-CM code, specifiers, severity, and the Z codes (other conditions that may be a focus of clinical attention).
Watch your peers’ videos and respond to at least two colleagues who had a different case in the following ways:
• Provide an informal observation designed to improve, clarify, or question an aspect of the presentation.
• Explain a measurement instrument that would be useful in tracking ongoing progress for your colleague’s case, clarifying or uncovering further associated symptoms or validating the diagnosis.
