‘Among many of the ethical issues clinicians encounter in their practice, diagnosing someone with a given mental disorder just for the purpose of reimbursement of services is perhaps the number one ethical dilemma. This book is an outstanding review of the conceptual and empirical literature on this particular dilemma. But the most important contribution of this book is that it provides an extensive discussion of clinical strategies and case vignettes that clinicians could use in diagnosing mental disorder and as the same time attending to ethical standards governing their discipline.’
—Freddy A. Paniagu, University of Texas Medical Branch-Galveston
‘Eriksen and Kress offer a well-formulated discussion of problems with the American Psychiatric Association′s The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disoders (DSM), Including almost 800 references, this volume covers the literature in the field extremely well.’
—W.P. Anderson, CHOICE
