Relying on Whether or Not a Client Meets Diagnostic Criteria

Relying on whether or not a client meets diagnostic criteria for the psychiatric disorder being treated is problematic because:

A) the measure being used to evaluate the disorder may not be validated
B) the client may not want to complete the measure
C) not meeting diagnostic criteria does not mean that all the problems associated with the disorder are gone
D) the measure may not include all of the specific problems the client was experiencing
