Make the revisions to the Week 3 assignment that were recommended by your instructor. Build this assignment onto the revised Week 3 assignment as if you were adding new information to the client’s electronic health record.
Competency 7: Competency 7: Assess Individuals, Families, Groups, Organizations, and Communities
Conduct a differential diagnosis by evaluating at least three potential diagnoses for the client. Refer to the DSM-5-TR to explain the diagnosis that is most fitting for the client. Justify your decision by linking the client’s presenting symptoms with the diagnostic criteria. Explain the diagnosis or diagnoses you chose to rule out, and why. (C7.SP.B)
Apply leadership skills, decision-making, and emerging technologies to describe the diagnostic tool or tools you would use to assist with formulating the diagnosis. Apply research to explain why this tool is an appropriate method of assessment. (C7.SP.C)
Competency 3: Engage Anti-Racism, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (ADEI) in Practice
Demonstrate self-awareness, cultural humility, and leadership skills by reflecting on your own bias, power, privilege, and belief system. Explain how you will practice self-regulation to manage these factors. (C3.SP.B)
Competency 6: Engage With Individuals, Families, Groups, Organizations, and Communities
Evaluate the client’s diversity needs. Apply leadership, empathy, interpersonal skills, emerging technologies, and self-reflection to explain culturally responsive engagement strategies. For example, what does research tell us about the specific cultural needs the client may have in a mental health setting? How will you engage the client to encourage their continued treatment? How could you use technology as an aid? (C6.SP.B)
Competency 8: Intervene With Individuals, Families, Groups, Organizations, and Communities
Research, analyze and apply a mental health theory from your readings to the case (such as but not limited to cognitive, solution-focused, object relations, narrative, behavioral, or self-psychology). The mental health theory you choose should be relevant to address the client’s diagnosis and psychosocial issues. (C8.SP.B)
Describe an intervention appropriate for the client’s family or community. Apply theory to contextualize the appropriateness of your chosen intervention. (C8.SP.B)
