Assignment:
Practicum: Decision Tree
Childhood psychosis is extremely rare; however, children that present with psychosis must be carefully assessed and evaluated with appropriate interviewing of parent, child, and use of assessment tools.
For this Assignment, as you examine the client case study in this week's Learning Resources, consider how you might assess and treat clients presenting with early onset schizophrenia.
The Assignment:
Examine Case 3. You will be asked to make three decisions concerning the diagnosis and treatment for this client. Be sure to consider co-morbid physical as well as mental factors that might impact the client's diagnosis and treatment.
