Description
This book is about coming to grips with the uncertainty and complexity inherent to the assessment of people presenting with possible mental disorders.
It is an exploration of the impact of objective uncertainty on clinical judgment and decision making and its relevance to mental health care. This is often not emphasized in clinical care and training. The book examines the relative utility of current nosology and clinical approaches in managing these challenges. The high prevalence of error in diagnosis and risk assessment related to existing clinical approaches is illustrated. An expanded view of common harms and impairments related to disrupted mental health is provided. These are used to populate a cognitive framework, to be used as a clinical tool during assessment. This transdiagnostic approach is intended to assist clinicians in identifying potential harm and impairment in their clients, independent of diagnostic clarity or errors. Finally, the book explores implications of irreducible uncertainty and complexity on approaches to clinician training and continuing professional development.
