MFT Exam - DSM-V Exam Questions And
Answers
Cultural Concepts -
DSM-V and Diagnoses for Children -
correct answer ✅DSM-5 is a clinical guidebook for assessment and
diagnosis of mental disorders and does not include treatment
guidelines or recommendations on services. That said, determining
an accurate diagnosis is the first step toward appropriate care. As
with any medical issue, no child should ever be diagnosed without
a careful, comprehensive evaluation, and no medication should be
prescribed without equal vigilance. Parents play an integral role in
this process as many of the DSM criteria require that symptoms be
observed by them or individuals who interact regularly with the
child.
Integrated (Dimensional) Assessment Processess -
correct answer ✅An assessment is integrated when it presents a
broader set of information than is normally derived from a standard
research activity. Because integrated assessments bring together
and summarize information from diverse fields of study, they are
often used as tools to help decision makers understand very
complex environmental problems.

In assessment of climate change, integrated assessment refers to
that activity that considers the social and economic factors that
drive the emission of greenhouse gases, the biogeochemical cycles
and atmospheric chemistry that determines the fate of those
emissions, and the resultant effect of greenhouse gas emissions on
climate and human welfare. More specifically, the two defining
characteristics of a climate change integrated assessment are 1)
that it seeks to provide information of use to decision makers
rather than merely advancing understanding for its own sake; and
2) that it brings together a broader set of areas, methods, styles of
study, or degrees of certainty, than would typically characterize a
study of the same issue within the bounds of a single research
discipline.
Mixed Features Specifier -
correct answer ✅a specifier that can be added to either major
depressive disorder or bipolar I or II disorder, and it applies when a

levels of inattention, disorganization, and/or hyperactivity-
impulsivity.
• Inattention and disorganization entail inability to stay on task,
seeming not to listen, and losing materials, at levels that are
inconsistent with age or developmental level.
• Hyperactivity-impulsivity entails over-activity, fidgeting, inability
to stay seated, intruding into other people's activities, and inability
to wait—symptoms that are excessive for age or developmental
level
now requires an individual's symptoms to be present prior to age
12, compared to 7 as the age of onset in DSM-IV. Substantial
research published since 1994 found no clinical differences
between children with earlier versus later symptom onset in terms
of their disorder course, severity, outcome, or treatment response.
Other criteria for diagnosing children with ADHD remain
unchanged.
