Nancy McWilliams identifies five reasons that determine the necessity for diagnosis:

  • diagnosis for treatment planning;
  • information contained in it related to prognosis;
  • protecting interests of patients;
  • a diagnosis might help the therapist to empathize with his patient;
  • might reduce the likelihood that some fearful patients will go-by the treatment.
