Summarize the key points from two of the three articles below

  • Address how the DSM-5 addressed the problems/challenges described in the articles and weave in a discussion of what issues still remain?
  • Share what your recommendations are related to best practice regarding cultural formulation when making a diagnosis?
  • Conclude your paper with what you learned from researching and writing this paper.
  • Please also start your paper with an introduction section that introduces your reader to what you will be writing about and why, and end your paper with a conclusion section that reiterates your most important points, talks about implications for counseling, and or shares what you learned from researching and writing this paper.
