Treatment Guide of Selected DSM IV & V Diagnoses

As a young inspired clinician, Farideh Fazlian had wonderful mentors but not a lot of practical experience on treating different patient populations. She seeks to remedy that lack with this book, providing a resource for others studying clinical psychology or started working as clinicians.

Fazlian offers targeted treatment planning and goals, immediate treatment concerns, intervention methods and strategies, and adjunct strategies were necessary, broken down by specific mental health disorder and age range for patients. The first section focuses on treatment for children and adolescents with mental health disorders typical of that age such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Conduct Disorder and Oppositional Defiant Disorder. The second section features mental health disorders typically seen adults such as Anxiety Disorder, Depressive Disorder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and substance use. The final section focuses on personality disorders seen in adults such as antisocial, avoidant, schizoid and borderline.

Broken down by stages, this easy-to-understand resource provides specific strategies to help clinicians and students maintain patient safety, apply therapeutic methods and focus on long-term treatment to help patients at any age.
