 | | The ideals of William Osler who innovated the practice of medicine in the early 1900s were based on the principles of the diagnosis and treatment of disease. | | | The practice of diagnosis continues to be dominated by theories set down in the early 1900s. | | | The medical community, however, has only recently acknowledged the importance of genetics and its relevance to mainstream medicine. |

| | It moves therapy from a relationship between a knower and on who is ignorant to a collaborative partnership in which the deciding of, the exploring of, and the "solving" of problems is a process of shared inquiry in which the diagnosis is not fixed and the problem may shift and dissolve over time. | | | The public, the profession and the state have given authority ot the therapist to collect information about the client and place it on a pre determined therapist map from which the diagnosis is then derived and the treatment plan decided. | | | There is reason for debate here, for some clients may indeed prefer the security of a professional term to replace what they feel are their own floundering attempts to comprehend. |

| | By concentrating on diagnosis (as we have defined it), a forecaster can develop strategies for using objective guidance that allow the forecaster to maintain a scientific outlook while still remaining ignorant about the details of guidance. | | | Precisely because the data are not sufficient to perform an "objective" analysis on this scale, forecasters must accept the penalty of erroneous interpretations of the data by subjective diagnosis, as mentioned in D86a,b. | | | Our use of the term "diagnosis" rather than "analysis" is probably unfamiliar to some readers. |
