dc.description	Social workers in clinical settings need to demonstrate facility with client diagnosis. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) is the preeminent diagnostic classification system among clinical practitioners in this country. Knowledge of the DSM is critical so that social workers can be conversant with other mental health professionals and are eligible to receive reimbursement for services they deliver. The challenge for a social work book on mental, emotional, and behavior disorders is to teach social workers competence and critical thinking in the diagnostic process, while also considering diagnosis in a way that is consistent with social work values and principles. These values include a strengths-based orientation, concern for the worth and dignity of individuals, and an appreciation for the environmental context of individual behavior
