Abstract

Within psychology, many different fields exist. Development, social, and abnormal psychology are considered distinct disciplines within the field, and those who specialize in one discipline rarely spend time in the study of another. Counseling is a substrate of abnormal psychology, focusing on identifying and repairing problematic emotional states, behaviors, and relationships. The identification, or diagnosis, of these problems if most often categorized in conjunction with the latest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-IV-TR), which sets specific criteria for different diagnoses.

While formal diagnosis is often necessary for a variety of reasons, in many cases it can be limiting, especially in cases of disorders that are not black and white; present or not present, but can fit into a spectrum.
