How can you make necessary professional judgments without being
judgmental? Assessment and diagnostic skills are essential
professional tools for the social worker, but all too often they
are neglected or downplayed. Diagnosis in Social Work argues for
the reinstatement of social diagnosis to its former place as an
essential concept in social work. This courageous book demonstrates
the detrimental impact of the loss of diagnostic skills on the
quality of social work intervention. Combining meticulous history
with insightful analysis, Diagnosis in Social Work shows how the
concept of diagnosis in social work has been misunderstood. It
examines the negative, narrow definition of diagnosis offered in
commonly used texts. Diagnosis in Social Work includes the tools
you need to use the power of correct, careful diagnosis, including:
case examples of social work diagnoses a thorough profile of the
judgments constituting a social work diagnosis suggestions to
enhance diagnostic acumen an analysis of diagnosis as a process and
a fact ways to use computers in diagnosis an assessment of the
risks of diagnosis Diagnosis in Social Work includes everything
social work practitioners need to know about the process and
meaning of this sorely neglected part of the field. It is an ideal
textbook as well, and it offers suggestions for further research.
