Critical Thinking in Clinical Assessment and Diagnosis (repost)




Barbara Probst, "Critical Thinking in Clinical Assessment and Diagnosis"


English | 2015 | ISBN-10: 3319177737 | 304 pages | pdf | 3 MB




"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.
