      abstract = {"As it stands, the DSM fails to address important sources  of strength and resiliency that can significantly affect  diagnosis and treatment. The authors of this transformative  volume propose enhancements to the current diagnostic and  classification system that encompass the biopsychosocial,  cultural, and spiritual milieus of individuals and  acknowledge the strengths originating from personal,  family, and community resources. This proposed Axis VI  addresses contextual and individual factors related to  diversity, equity, and resiliency, thereby enabling an  understanding of the whole person and offering significant  resources for treatment. Within each chapter the authors  demonstrate the use of strength-based multicultural  diagnostic processes and application of Axis VI to specific  disorders, including mood disorders, anxiety disorders,  conduct disorders, oppositional/defiant disorder,  dementia/Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia and other  psychoses, and substance-related and co-occurring  disorders. The text also reviews relevant etiology and  evidence-based research for each disorder and highlights  current strength-based and culturally competent approaches  to diagnosis and treatment. For the utmost clarification,  case vignettes for each disorder describe diagnosis with  and without the use of Axis VI"--Provided by publisher.},
