The Case of Charlotte
Charlotte has been a counselor in a group private practice for 6 years. She shares office space with other counselors but maintains her own separate private practice business. Most of the managed health care companies for which Charlotte is an approved provider require her to identify an emotional or mental disorder before they will agree to pay for her counseling services. Most companies require that Charlotte diagnose each client using the DSM-5. Other Conditions That May Be a Focus of Clinical Attention, sometimes called V-Codes, are not acceptable. Charlotte, having been educated from a wellness perspective of mental health, worries about labeling her clients negatively by diagnosing them with mental disorders. In reviewing the DSM-5, Charlotte has decided that adjustment disorder is the least objectionable diagnosis and is least likely to distress her clients if she diagnoses them with it. Even though many of her clients do not meet the technical criteria for receiving a diagnosis of adjustment disorder, Charlotte uses that diagnosis anyway. About 80% of Charlotte's clients are diagnosed with adjustment disorder.
