No; the therapist doesn't like labels or the DSM. I think it's more helpful to understand one's internal workings than to slap a label on someone. I've had therapists in the past who diagnosed prematurely. When therapists do this as soon as within the first three sessions of meeting with you, it can really cloud their judgement and make them incapable of really understanding and listening to you because they already hold a preconceived notion about you in their minds.
