| Summary: | This tightly focused, reader-friendly guide will make it easier for you to use - and communicate to others - the diagnostic codes of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV (DSM-IV). Deciphering the Diagnostic Codes is designed to increase your familiarity with the diagnostic coding used in all facets of the mental health and counseling professions. School counselors frequently work closely with other mental health professionals. Until now, however, there has been no comprehensive source that explains the basic ideas and terminology used in diagnoses that are geared specifically to student counseling needs. This new book presents just such an overview, along with information on specific conditions of distress, more serious disorders such as anxiety and depression, and implications for intervention. |
