Overview
As you will learn throughout
the program, the diagnosis of a variety of psychiatric illnesses is not always
an easy or straightforward process. Multiple observations and assessment
methods are often employed to reach a diagnosis. This approach can include the
use of standardized assessment instruments. This then aids you in defining a
treatment plan and choosing specific treatment plans to use in the care of your
clients.

identifying a standardized assessment instrument/tool to measure the disorders
listed for each week. You will keep these instruments in the form of a
“portfolio” that you can use in your clinical practice to assess clients who
present with a variety of symptoms.
