MRI+Diagnostic+Issues

According to the MRI therapy model, it is not necessary to diagnose a client because the focus of therapy is interactional, not intra-personal. The DSM-IV considers only the intrapersonal problems that brought the client into therapy. Contrastly, MRI focuses on the interactional behaviors of one person or several people who are working to solve the problem.

If collaborating with another MRI therapist, it is not necessary to consider the client(s) diagnosis because, again, the focus is on the interactions of the person(s) who are erroneously attempting to solve a problem.

Of course, diagnosing is necessary for insurance reimbursement. So, how does a therapist who works within this model, negotiate diagnosis for insurance reimbursement when it is not necessary, or even valued, in the therapy model?
