“This is really a call to action for us to respect and honor context in our work.”

Dr. Jordan Wright is back on the podcast to talk about deliberate, context-driven conceptualization in the assessment process. If you’re heard either of Jordan’s prior episodes, you know that he brings a nice blend of theory, practice, humility, and humor to our discussions, coupled with extensive knowledge and deep thinking about a variety of topics. Here are a few ideas that we discuss today:

• Why is context-driven conceptualization important?
• Examples of different contexts to consider
• Ways to assess the role of context
• The relationship between context and diagnosis
