| Publisher Description: This new edited volume offers a step-by-step approach to diagnosis, giving practicing psychologists and graduate trainees around the world the essential information to apply the ICD-11 diagnostic guidelines for mental, behavioral, and neurodevelopmental disorders as a basis for high quality, evidence-informed care. The World Health Assembly adopted the Eleventh Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) in 2019 as the basis for global health information and reporting. This ground-breaking volume published by the American Psychological Association in partnership with the International Union of Psychological Science provides a detailed guide for the clinical implementation of the ICD-11 diagnostic classification system by psychologists and other health professionals. Each chapter describes a psychological approach to a different diagnostic area, operationalized as a conceptually driven, person-oriented, "biopsychosociocultural" formulation that integrates pertinent history, behavior, symptoms, phenomenology, and functioning. As laid out by the book's expert contributors, this volume enables practitioners to establish a differential diagnosis using the ICD-11 as the principal classification framework. Each chapter discusses how psychologists conceive of diagnosis as well as focal consideration of impairment, functioning, assessment, the developmental approach, terminology, research methodologies, and other key aspects of psychological practice. The book is designed to complement, rather than replace, the World Health Organization's Clinical Descriptions and Diagnostic Guidelines for ICD-11 Mental, Behavioural and Neurodevelopmental Disorders. Written to be responsive to the unique context of psychological practice, including consideration of regional, linguistic, and cultural factors, A Psychological Approach to Diagnosis is the first comprehensive training resource on WHO's ICD-11 classification of mental, behavioral and neurodevelopmental disorders. |
