My T. (psychologist) of 4+ years never even mentioned a dx. I don't think it seemed relevant to either of us. He took notes for maybe the first year - sporadically - but then stopped after I'd mentioned a couple times how distracting it was, and never took any since then.
I did see what he'd used for insurance once, and we had a little talk about that - it did bother me some because he hadn't told me, not that I disagreed with it. He was really surprised the way I reacted, not understanding it felt like a impersonal label, or like him doing something behind my back that made me into more of a dx than a person. (He'd also thought he did tell me - a little memory issue there, but I forgave it in time...) A small rupture, but a good learning experience....
I guess there are a few different approaches out there.
