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.

In response to all of these changes,eight of the sixteen ch- ters in this edition contain new questions.In addition to rec- ling information,these questions will require the application of information,and an analysis of situations. Both the ARRT and the NMTCB use computer testing for t- se exams.Because of this,questions cannot be skipped.A good strategy is to try to get through all of the questions,and m- king or flagging each one that was a guess. In the event that another question provides you with information that changes your guess later,you will be able to return to that question and change your answer. If you have not marked it, you may not have time to find it. It is well worth the time (even if one is extremely comfortable using computers) to take time for the tutorials offered before the exam timer begins.This will familiarize you with the lo- tion of buttons and functions on the screens,and may save you a few minutes of navigating during the actual exam,especially while reviewing.
