A different lens on diagnosis: value of the CFI in asylum seekers’ psychiatric diagnostic assessment
This study underscored the CFI as a valuable tool in asylum seekers' diagnostic assessment. The CFI facilitated a shift towards a more holistic, recovery-oriented approach. It prompted conceptual reflections on psychopathology in asylum seekers. The CFI presents a promising yet underutilised tool for addressing diagnostic challenges in cross-cultural settings. The findings highlight its potential for broader clinical implementation.
