Reflection Point

Оглавление

Reflect on what it is like when you are unwell and visit a health professional. What role does diagnosis play for you, in terms of your expectations of what is going to happen and for the care you might receive.

When done well, assessments and thoughtful consideration of problems and probable diagnoses, developed collaboratively with patients, can be important interventions in their own right. After the assessment session in psychological therapy services that include LICBT interventions, such as Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) services in England (Chapters 1 and 20), approximately 40 per cent of service users do not require or want treatment, are referred on, or are signposted elsewhere. Ensuring that assessments are done well, information is gathered and advice developed on the basis of them is communicated effectively (Chapter 2) is therefore of great importance (Clark, 2018). It provides the framework on which appropriate identification of the LICBT intervention to address the probable diagnosis is made (Part II).
