Description
This chapter provides an introduction to social class and classism in mental health care practice (assessment, diagnosis, and treatment), and uses the Social Class Worldview Model (SCWM) as a framework from which social class may be used to strengthen clinical practice. The authors provide counseling-relevant definitions for inequality, poverty, and affluence. As presented in the Social Class Worldview Model, it is imperative that mental health practitioners have applied definitions and frameworks to use with clients. The authors also review literature on psychological diagnosis and assessment and discuss the impact of social class on these practices. Finally, the authors discuss an important bias, Upward Mobility Bias, that may influence the ways in which clients are treated.
