My list of things to slam into my brain as test day nears.
- Family Therapy Theories (Structural vs. Strategic vs…)
- Psych Testing (MMPI vs. MACI vs…)
- Differentials (Schizophrenoform vs. Schizophrenia vs….; Bipolar I vs. Bipolar II vs. Cyclothymia…; Conversion vs. Factitious vs…)
- Legal Stuff (CA 1024 vs. 5150 vs…; Parental consent of tx; Abuse reporting)
- Neurotransmitters 101 (Seratonin vs. Dopamine vs….)
- Meds 101 (TCAs vs. MAOIs vs…)
- PDDs and other kids stuff (I work with adults)
- What goes on during already memorized developmental stages (Piaget, Erikson)
- Stuff I’d never heard of before exam prepping (Gonsalves’s stages for new immigrants; Marlatt’s relapse prevention…)
- Rationales of questions missed on practice exams

And Happy World Social Work Day.
UPDATED: Also…
- Missions of various social work-related roles (QA, Ombudsman, Mediator, etc.)
- “Proxemics” vs. “Kinesics” vs. “Paralanguage” (’cause it was in a practice question)
- Maybe brush up on testing and stats lingo, just in case (is it on there or not?)
