Suppose two individuals, one from suburbia and the other from the inner city, showed the same patter of aggressive and paranoid behavior. In diagnosing
these two persons, a clinician should
consider whether the behaviors are more or less reasonable given the client's environment.
O give them different diagnoses if the diagnosis will determine if insurance pays for the treatment
glve them the same diagnosis in order to be objective about the behavior
base the diagnosis on ethnic background rather than on living environment
