Biopsychosocial Assessment
Students will complete a biopsychosocial of an individual of their choosing. A biopsychosocial history is a comprehensive assessment of an individual. The assessment does not have a specific length but should not exceed 10 double-spaced pages. It is expected that you will complete the assessment fully and in a professional manner. This includes paragraph form (no bullet points), complete descriptions, and using formal writing (without contractions, slang, etc.).
This assignment provides an opportunity for you to practice conceptualizing what you have learned (and are presumably still learning) in class. Social workers frequently complete assessments as part of their regular job description. This is an opportunity to complete an assessment and get feedback before doing one in a professional setting. All information included in the assessment should be from the client’s perspective and should avoid subjective opinions.
This assignment will also have a reflective component in which you will evaluate how well you were able to engage the client and use the interviewing skills studied in class.
Biopsychosocial assessments include the following:
· Identifying information (e.g., name, age, etc.)
· A history of the present circumstances (i.e., the presenting problem, symptoms)
· The past psychiatric and medical history of the client and the client’s family (e.g., injuries, operations, etc.)
· The client’s social history (e.g., overview of client’s childhood, family structure, etc.)
· A mental status exam and DSM-5 diagnosis
·
A formulation (e.g., a statement that summarizes and synthesizes the most important aspects of the case to create a story of the client and his or her past and presenting problems)
An example of what a Biopsychosocial Assessment outline can look like is:
I. Identifying Information
