Abstract:

This book is about the doing and experiencing of diagnosis in everyday
life. Diagnoses are revealed as interactive negotiations rather than as the
assigning of diagnostic labels. The authors demonstrate, through detailed
discourse analyses, how the diagnostic process depends on power and
accountability as expressed through the talk of those engaged in the
diagnostic process. The authors also show that diagnostic decisions are not
only made by professional experts trained in the art and science of
diagnosis, but they can also be made by anyone trying to figure out the
nature of everyday problems. Finally, diagnostic reasoning is found to
extend beyond typical diagnostic situations, occurring in unexpected places
such as written letters of recommendation and talk about the nature of
communication. Together, the chapters in this book demonstrate how
diagnosis is a communication practice deeply rooted in our culture. The
book is interdisciplinary and unusually broad in its focus. 

The authors come from different experiential scholarly backgrounds. Each of
them takes a different look at the impact and nature of the diagnostic
process. The diagnoses discussed include autism, Alzheimer's disease,
speech and language disorders, and menopause. The focus is not only on the
here and now of the diagnostic interaction, but also on how diagnoses and
diagnostic processes change over time. The book can serve as an
undergraduate or graduate text for courses offered in various disciplines,
including communication, sociology, anthropology, communication disorders,
audiology, linguistics, medicine, and disability studies.
