Abstract

This paper explores the development of an undergraduate course module devoted to the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual: Fourth Edition (DSM-IV). The skills-based course in which this module is presented is focused on helping junior year BSW students to prepare for their senior year fieldwork practica. Students enrolled in this course between 1998 and 2000 were surveyed. The results indicate that the respondents found the course module to be helpful not only in preparing them for their senior year fieldwork practica but also in their post-BSW employment and MSW programs as well. An excerpt from the module is included as an appendix.
