Chapters 2 and 3 of Abnormal Psychology and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th edition) explore the various assessment and diagnostic tools that mental health professionals use, including the DSM-5.
The DSM-5 has many strengths, weaknesses, and ethical concerns, including labeling, stigmatization, and comorbidity.

· In your opinion, what is the most pressing ethical concern related to using the DSM-5 as a diagnostic tool? Why?
· Considering Ruby Wax in particular, how might have labeling, stigmatization, or comorbidity affected her own struggle with clinical depression?
How might these conditions affect others with mental illness?
· Discuss one of the assessments and diagnostic tools that you read about in the text readings. How might you conduct a research study to determine whether or not your assessment is reliable and/or valid?
That is, what sorts of designs or methodologies might be appropriate?
