The Complete Process of Psychological Diagnosis Through 12 Domestic Clinical Cases

Clinical Practice Guidelines for a Deeper Understanding of Psychopathology

While theoretical knowledge about psychopathology can be learned through lectures at school, the methods and procedures for deeply understanding and diagnosing the various psychopathologies of individuals are best learned through case studies in clinical settings.
To truly understand the seemingly complex core psychopathology of an individual, to understand the psychological distress experienced by the patient, and to provide optimal therapeutic strategies based on this, it is necessary to experience a wealth of clinical cases.
This book introduces clinical cases of 12 types of psychopathology and provides detailed case-by-case explanations of the process of psychological diagnosis and treatment.

Presents a concrete process from clinical cases to psychological assessment and diagnosis, and therapeutic intervention.

This book consists of a total of 13 chapters.
Chapter 1, which is the introduction, describes the importance of clinical cases in psychological diagnosis and treatment and contains matters to consider when conducting psychological diagnosis.
Chapters 2 to 13 are '1.
Clinical case, 2.
Psychological evaluation, 3.
By describing it in a consistent structure of ‘characteristics and treatment’, it enables a systematic understanding of the clinical aspects and theoretical models of each psychopathology, as well as the entire process of psychological diagnosis and treatment.
'1.
In the ‘Clinical Case’, the case of a patient who visited the hospital with a specific mental or psychological problem is presented.
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate how a counselor can approach a more accurate diagnosis by identifying the patient's main complaint, current medical history, family history, and personal history through clinical interviews and behavioral observations.
Next, '2.
"Psychological Assessment" covers the process of planning, conducting, and analyzing the assessments necessary for a patient's psychological diagnosis. It describes the use of structured interviews like the SCID, psychological tests like the K-WAIS-IV, MMPI-2, and the Rorschach Inventory, along with appropriate assessment scales. The assessment results are then presented, and the counselor interprets them to conceptualize the case.
This allows us to specifically identify the steps that lead from evaluation to final diagnosis.
Finally, '3.
In ‘Characteristics and Treatment’, the characteristics of the psychopathology and various treatments are explained.
We examined the diagnostic criteria and clinical aspects of the patient's psychopathology and suggested what to consider in comorbidity and differential diagnosis.
In addition, after introducing various theoretical models and treatments for the causes of the psychopathology, the process of applying appropriate therapeutic interventions to patients was demonstrated in detail.

Psychological diagnosis is a complex and challenging process, but if you gradually develop the insight to detect core psychopathology through clinical experience, the process of making a diagnosis can become easier.
The various cases covered in this book will enable graduate students in psychology and clinical psychology trainees to develop the expertise needed in the field of psychotherapy.
