Abstract/OtherAbstract:
DSM-III-R has gained popularity in many segments of the mental health field. Family therapists have generally not found its approach to assessing problems to be helpful in the planning of therapy, yet, are often forced to use it due to the requirements of third-party payers. This raises several ethical and practical concerns, e.g., the incompatibility of orientations between DSM-III-R and family therapy, the stigma associated with diagnosing, being asked to misrepresent diagnoses to third-party payers, and the competency of some family therapists to make DSM-III-R diagnoses. Short- and long-term strategies to deal with these ethical dilemmas are also presented.
