Nothing is Ever Just One Thing: Diagnosing Without Dehumanizing with DSM Expert, Jason Buckles

Update: 2025-07-16

Description

Jason Buckles is not the DSM expert you’re looking for. Or is he? In this episode, Dr. Jason Buckles joins Travis Heath to discuss the good, the bad and the ugly of the DSM—from the benefits of providing a common language to the realities of dehumanizing clients when that language is applied. Together, they explore the power and perils of using diagnoses to define the human condition. A layered, provocative episode for anyone who’s ever wrestled with the complexities of diagnosis.
