Case Study of Alice

Review the case of Alice (in Resources). This will be used in this unit's second discussion as well as this graded assignment. Submit your response to these questions:

• What differential diagnostic possibilities does Alice's case suggest, and what are your choices of DSM-5 and ICD-9-CM (or ICD-10) diagnoses?
• Justify the reasons for your choice of diagnosis or diagnoses, including the final selection(s).
• Evaluate the effects of client data sources on the diagnostic reliability and validity.
• Assess the role of family determinants in Alice's presentation using the theoretical orientation of your choice.
• Argue the pros and cons of keeping the selected diagnosis in an upcoming DSM.
