Exam Content
Anxiety disorders are one of the most common disorders in our society. This week you will explore a case study with an anxiety disorder, follow the steps to complete a biopsychosocial assessment based on that case, conceptualize the case through the lens of a theoretical perspective, and develop a treatment plan for the client described in the case. You will do this process often in your clinical work.

Read 1 of the following cases from Ch. 6, “Anxiety Disorders,” of The Clinical Assessment Workbook: Balancing Strengths and Differential Diagnosis:

Case 6.1
Case 6.3
Case 6.4
Case 6.5

Use the Biopsychosocial Assessment and Treatment Plan forms located on the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences Resources website in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling menu.

When completing this assessment, consider the additional assessment tools you may use to determine the diagnosis and level of severity.

Conduct a biopsychosocial assessment of the client described in your selected case. Consider these instructions:

If a Mini Mental Status Exam isn’t completed, indicate that in the cognitive section of the Mental Status part of the assessment.
Although the case study may not provide in-depth information for all sections of the biopsychosocial assessment, please use the information as provided, and note if there is no information given for a specific area.

Complete a minimum 500-word assessment using the Biopsychosocial Assessment form with case conceptualization for the case. Use full sentences and appropriate grammar.

Support your assessment with appropriate terminology from DSM-5-TR.

Complete a minimum 150-word treatment plan using the Treatment Plan form for this client based on best practice or evidence-based therapy.

Justify your treatment plan with peer-reviewed research. (The elements of your plan will not be graded for clinical accuracy, but you should use faculty feedback to improve your treatment planning going forward.)

Note: Refer to The Complete Adult Psychotherapy Treatment Planner from the University Library for help writing a treatment plan.

Cite the selected case and any other supporting resources used.

Format your citations and reference page according to APA guidelines.

Submit your Biopsychosocial Assessment form, Treatment Plan form, and the reference page.
