Savitri works as a nurse’s aide at a local hospital. Her husband recently lost his job and now the couple is $6,000 behind on their mortgage. Savitri is very depressed and goes to see a clinical psychologist. In evaluating Savitri, the psychologist would most likely indicate the couple’s financial problems under which Axis of the DSM model?

The psychologist would probably indicate the financial problems under Axis IV, which refers to environmental and psychosocial factors that contribute to a problem. Since financial problems are something external from Savitri and her husband, they would be considered an environmental or psychosocial factor of the problem. The financial problems can be changed or fixed in an external way that does not involve psychological treatment.
