Clinical Assessment and Diagnosis in Social Work Practice
"...a breath of fresh air...this volume does not limit its scope and succeeds admirably for it. Corcoran and Walsh's book should be a required reference for every clinical social worker with an interest in evidence-based practice."--PsycCRITIQUES"Corcoran and Walsh's book provides a mindful introduction to assessment and diagnosis for social workers, informed by the DSM.  The authors acknowledge the limitations of this clinical perspective and provide a critical review of the notion of disorder while building bridges between a person-in-environment perspective and the process of assessment and diagnosis."--International Social Work
