APA FORMAT
After meeting Richard, open the Decision Tree for Somatic Complaints or Illness or Appearance Anxiety in Chapter 3 of the DSM-5 Handbook of Differential Diagnosis, which you can find in the Week 2: Making a Differential Diagnosis reading list. Follow the steps of the decision tree to find your way to the diagnosis of somatic symptom disorder. Utilize the option to "View Large" for each decision tree (ignore downloading the PowerPoint). Address the following using headings to match the content in each bullet point:
- What was most and least helpful about using the decision tree?
- Select one of the assessments covered in the assigned reading by Hamilton and Carr (2016) and describe how it would provide additional information that would be relevant to understanding Richard from a systemic or cultural perspective.
