Description

Although a formal mental status examination (MSE) would be done by a physician or psychologist, case managers should be prepared to conduct an informal MSE in which they systematically look at the client's thinking process, feeling state, and behavior. This helps the case manager understand the way the person functions emotionally and cognitively and can be made an integral part of the assessment interview.

Target audience: Psychologists, mental health counselors, marriage and family therapists, social workers, addiction counselors, nurses, case managers

Format: Asynchronous, reading-based distance learning. Non-interactive.

Content Category: Clinical; Case Management
