"This much-needed volume brings to the clinician or student some of
the best critical-minded analysis by some of the most insightful
thinkers about psychiatric diagnosis today. The thought-provoking
questions these essays raise, and the multifaceted and provocative
answers they provide, cultivate sensitivity to the nuances of
diagnostic assessment that often makes the difference between
clinical success and failure." - Jerome C. Wakefield, PhD, DSW, New
York University Silver School of Social Work, New York This
transformative resource challenges social workers and mental health
professionals to rethink their approaches to assessment and
diagnosis from the ground up. Among the book’s unique features
are its use of diverse lenses to examine a common case and its
illustration of how multiple perspectives can be integrated for a
richly textured portrait of the individual in context. Equally
crucial is the book’s commitment to professional development,
from exercises to improve case conceptualization to strategies
for teaching and learning. Topics include: The DSM-5 definition of
mental disorder: critique and alternatives. Making assessment
decisions: macro, mezzo, and micro perspectives. Neuroscience,
resilience, and the embodiment of “mental” disorder. Narrative,
psychodynamic, and cultural conceptualizations of disorder.
Person-centered and contextualized diagnosis in mental health.
Meeting the challenge of teaching integrated assessment. Critical
Thinking in Clinical Assessment and Diagnosis has much to offer
professionals, researchers, and educators in the fields of social
work and mental health. .
