In chapters 12-35, you will find Case Studies with critical thinking questions and Care Plan activities, which allow you to write care plans online for specific client scenarios. Also in selected chapters--you will find video clips from our "Learning from Clients" video series that explore many disorders including bipolar personality, anti-social behavior and eating disorders (e.g. bulimia).
