Beyond the DSM Story : Ethical Quandaries, Challenges, and Best Practices

Beyond the DSM Story presents challenges to the Diagnostic Statistical Model (DSM) system from ethical and cultural perspectives, critically evaluating its fit with other professional and theoretical orientations. It offers possible solutions or best practices for addressing ethical, theoretical, and contextual quandaries, along with experiential activities that challenge the reader to think critically about both the problems and the solutions associated with DSM diagnosis. Beyond the DSM Story presents an atheoretical model for incorporating alternative models with DSM assessment. Instructors, students and practitioners will benefit from this critical appraisal of the DSM.Author: Karen Eriksen,author,Victoria Kress,author Contributors: Karen Eriksen,author,Victoria Kress,author Binding: paperback Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Edition: 1 Published/Release Date: 22 Nov 2004 Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: SAGE Publications Inc Author/Director/Artist: Karen Eriksen Dimension (cm): 254x178x16 mm Package Dimension (cm): 18x250x178 mm Item Weight (g): 490 Package Weight (g): 599
