Reviews

[Billie · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great introductory text to familiarize students with the DSM 5 and strengths based assessment. Helpful in teaching srudents to navigate the limitations of the DSM and keep client identified goals and needs centered while being able to utilize the DSM as a professional tool.
