Assignment 2: RA: Diagnostic Formulation
Review the case given below case study (Psychological
Evaluation for Jessica E. Smith) for this required assignment (RA).
On the basis of the information in the case study, provide a
principal (primary) and a secondary diagnosis for the person using
the most recent DSM codes. You will also discuss your diagnoses in
narrative (paragraph) form. Then, identify and discuss at least one
differential (possible alternate) diagnosis for the principal
diagnosis and at least one differential (possible alternate)
diagnosis for the secondary diagnosis that you gave. Lastly,
discuss whether a diagnosis from other conditions that may be a
focus of clinical attention is warranted.
While you are welcome to list medical conditions that might
be a concern, your primary and secondary diagnoses should be
psychological conditions listed in DSM-5.
Your paper should have separate sections for:
Principal and secondary diagnoses
The reasons for selecting the principal and secondary
diagnoses
Social and cultural factors that may influence the principal
and secondary diagnoses
Differential diagnoses, including a consideration of whether
a diagnosis from other conditions are applicable
The reasons for selecting the differential diagnoses
Your rationale and justification for why your actual
diagnoses are a better fit than your differential diagnoses
Include citations and references in APA style. Your paper
should be 5–7 pages in length.
