Diagnosis: The Burden of Stigma in Help Seeking
Submit a must be 3-page paper that addresses the following: 

· Briefly explain Corrigan’s model of the stages of stigma and his recommendations and hierarchy about recovery. 

· Explain whether Delle’s experience follows that model. Use specific examples to argue your perspective. If you agree, identify which stage of recovery Delle is in. 

· Analyze Delle’s reports about his own experiences with both types of stigma. Provide specific examples, and in your analysis consider the following questions: 

o Does one type of stigma predominate in his talk? 

o Which of Delle’s personal values or beliefs were challenged by his internalizations about his own illness and help-seeking? 

o What strengths does he exhibit? 

o What was the primary benefit of his diagnosis? 

o Do you think that his experience would be different if his culture was different? Explain why or why not.

Diagnostic Statistical Manual, normality, diagnosis, psychopathology, mental health professionals, clinical practice

This newly revised and expanded second edition of The Intelligent Clinician’s Guideto the DSM-5® provides an essential update to the widely-heralded first edition, published in 2013 to coincide with the debut of the DSM-5 itself. Featuring newchapters on the public controversies and clinical debates formed in response to the DSM-5, plus thoroughly revised material reflecting last-minute changes to the DSM-5, Dr. Paris‘s new book takes a critical look at the dimensionalization of diagnosis, the borders between normality and psychopathology, and clinical utility as defined by the Manual. Above all, this reader-friendly volume uses evidence-based critiques and consideration of contemporary clinical practice to provide a practical guide to mental health professionals everywhere who are seeking to find where the DSM-5 is right, where it is wrong, and where the jury’s still out.
