SWK 615_Week_2_Discussion: The diagnostic system of the DSM is designed to do a number of things. In 250 words please discuss the purposes, strengths, and potential
limitations that you see as an emerging social work practitioner. What can social workers do to address these limitations in practice?
SWK 615_Week_3_Discussion: In 250 words answer, how do the diagnosis, case conceptualization, and treatment plan relate to one another? After knowing what you know
now, how do you think you can use these things to improve the outcomes of your future clients? Treatment planning relies on information gathered through assessment and
through the case conceptualization. Often, a diagnosis can lead us toward a particular treatment direction. What are some of the things to consider and include when
developing a treatment plan, and why are they important to consider and include?
SWK 615_Week_4_Discussion: Please think about Schizophrenia Spectrum & Psychotic Disorders; in 250 words, why do you suppose these are called ‘spectrum’ disorders
(note that this is a change from the DSM-IV-TR)? Do you see any advantages or disadvantages to the changes made for this particular diagnosis? There are many different
types of symptoms that help us to accurately diagnose schizophrenia spectrum disorders; after reading about these disorders, how might social workers be able to
differentiate this disorder from other disorders? Discuss your personal feelings about the likelihood or unlikelihood of misdiagnosing a person with one of these
disorders? How could a social worker avoid misdiagnosing?
SWK 615_Week_5_Discussion: Please think about Bipolar Disorder; There are many different symptoms that help us to accurately diagnose Bipolar Disorder; after reading
about this disorder, in 250 words, how might social workers be able to differentiate this disorder from other disorders? Discuss your personal feelings about the
likelihood or unlikelihood of misdiagnosing a person with one of this disorder. How could a social worker avoid misdiagnosing?
SWK 615_Documentation Practice Assignment
Students will use a case study (of their choice) from the text Diagnosis & Treatment Planning Skills (Schwitzer & Rubin, 2015) to create case notes for an imagined
session with a client using one of the documentation styles presented in the text DSM-5 In Action (Dziegielewski, 2015). The required length for this assignment is 2
pages. Utilize APA style in writing and must include the name of the case and a proper reference to the case in their reference page.
SWK 615_Week_5_Discussion: Please think about Bipolar Disorder; in 250 words what are some of the things that social workers consider in the assessment of this
disorder? What are some things that are important to consider in crafting treatment plans? In thinking about treatment of this disorder, please think about the
available pharmacological interventions – what are some things a social worker should be aware of related to medication and other treatment for Bipolar Disorder? (this
may require additional research outside of your textbook) Should social workers intervene if there are side effects with these medications? If so, what are some
potential interventions?
