Abstract
The following paper will present a clinical assessment of the subject, provided by a Mental State Examination (MSE), in order to produce a diagnosis consistent with the current ICD-10 and DSM-IV-TR classifications of psychiatric disorders. After determining a diagnosis of the patient's mental disorder, and presenting a summary of the clinical issues surrounding it, it will proceed to explore the developmental concerns associated with the client before determining an effective model of service delivery. Subsequently, the Canadian Model of occupational Performance (CMOP), developed by the Canadian Association of occupational Therapists, will be applied to the case study. The paper will outline and describe the proposed plan of clinical intervention for the patient, and will conclude with observations on the expected effectiveness and applicability of treatment.
