NURS 705 - Assessment, Diagnosis and Treatment Planning of the Psychiatric Patient


4 Credits
This course addresses assessment, diagnosis and treatment planning from a variety of perspectives: physical, biologic, neurophysiologic, developmental, cultural and interpersonal. It will provide students with a broad theoretical base for understanding psychopathology, from not only an individual, descriptive, symptomatic perspective as presented in the DSM-IV-TR, but also from a contextual systemic perspective including developmental hallmarks, familial patterns and sociocultural contributors. This ability to diagnose will form a beginning foundation for treatment planning associated with the various psycho-diagnostic categories. Students will have a 45-hour clinical placement to apply these concepts.
