The Discussion: Diagnostic Presentation is designed to help you integrate your understanding of the client’s intake process, theoretical foundations, and cultural considerations to justify the diagnosis for your AI-generated client case study. You will refer to the DSM-5-TR and scholarly literature to apply the corresponding diagnostic criteria relevant to your client.
In your presentation, clearly and briefly identify your client’s presenting problems, background information, gender, and culture. Additionally, be sure to match the client’s presenting problem and symptoms with the diagnostic criterion. You are also required to support each criterion listed with examples of how it meets your client’s specific needs and concerns. Because the AI-generated information may be limited, you are expected to identify and fill in any missing details using your clinical reasoning and creativity.
This assignment will help you understand both the purpose and process of using the DSM-5-TR in clinical diagnosis.
Instructions
Based on the Sperry and Sperry reading for Module 3, prepare 5-slides that define the following topics with application for how you would approach an interview for your AI generated client (approved in the Quiz: Quiz: Case Presentation: Selecting Your Client Using AI (Microsoft Copilot) you will be using for your case study.
1. Slide 1: client demographic information, important historical information and presenting problems.
2. Slide 2: Deductive reasoning – (define and provide at least 3 questions you would use to interview your client to assess symptoms related to the diagnostic criteria).
3. Slides 3: Client Diagnosis (refer to DSM-5-TR criteria and list criteria met with examples) (you may use more than one slide if needed).
4. Slides 4: Inductive reasoning – (define and provide possible Theoretical Orientation which can help guide and frame the assessment, case conceptualization and treatment plan for your client, briefly justify the orientation as appropriate to the presenting client and diagnosis).
5. Slides 5: Cultural Formulation (CF) – Using elements of CF Listed in Sperry and Sperry (table 3.3, p.49) briefly describe your client through these elements and include spiritual and religious considerations.
6. Slide 6: References
This presentation should be 5-8 slides (not including title and references slides). The slides should not include excessive text in the slides. Utilize the notes section in the presentation to detail what you would say if you were presenting this information to a group, including at least 100 words in the notes section of each slide. Refrain from thorough details for this presentation as you are preparing for future development for the Case Presentation Assignments (CPAD, CPCC, CPTP and CPF). Each slide should use appropriate graphics and be aesthetically pleasing.
