DIAGNOSIS

Taking the case of Charles for diagnosis, the counseling psychologist will interview Charles based on the health status of his mind and body assuming he is healthy and thus the assessment will be directed on how he can acquire peace of mind while a clinical assessment will focus on the real cause of mental illness faced by Charles which is eager to commit suicide due to relationship issues that are consequently affecting his whole social life cycle including job insecurity thus the main aim is to determine the problem whether it is behavioral or psychological according to (Barker & Pistrang 2015)

Using the Clinical assessment approach, Charles’ nature of illness roots from divorce and depression, he is full of thoughts on how miserable his life will be after divorce since he is just an African American young man with visions invested in his marriage. He even attempts to go for suicide as the best solution to all his problems. After taking survey Charles seems to be much worried about his relationship to an extent of forgetting his duties and responsibilities at a workplace according to (Kraemer 2015). On payment methods, a psychologist will give a diagnostic report depending on how he/she is going to be paid like now for the case of Charles who is full of mental problems and risk at the workplace and his insurance provider is out of network, we expect a poor diagnostic report due to low doubtful payment according to (Kirk 2017). Charles is having emotional pain, feels hopeless due to relationship issues thus he is seen as a hypothetical client and based on this information it is not ethical to render his diagnosis at this time in order to obtain a third party payment as his insurance provider is not around, also the man himself is not in position to receive such information as he can proceed and commit suicide so there is need to give him time release pressure first.
