b) Explain the diagnosis by matching the symptoms identified in the case to the specific criteria for the diagnosis
c) Support your decision by identifying the symptoms which meet specific criteria for each diagnosis.
d) Identity any close differentials and why they were eliminated. Concisely support your decisions with the case materials and readings.
e) Explain how diagnosing a client with a personality disorder may affect their treatment.
f) Analyze how power and privilege may influence who is labeled with a personality disorder and which types of personality disorders.
g) Identify how trauma affects the case, either precipitating the diagnosis and/or resulting from related symptoms or treatment.
