ISBNs: 0±471±49681±2 /Hardback); 0±470±84647±X /Electronic) Preface The next editions of the two main systems for the diagnosis and classifica- tion of mental disorders, the ICD and the DSM, are not expected before the year 2010. The most frequently alleged reasons for this long interval are: /1) the satisfaction with the performance of the systems as they are now, since they are achieving their goals of improving communication among clini- cians and ensuring comparability of research findings; /2) the concern that frequent revisions of diagnostic systems may undermine their assimilation by clinicians, damage the credibility of our discipline, and hamper the progress of research /by making the comparison between old and new data more difficult, impeding the collection of large patient samples, and requiring a ceaseless update of diagnostic interviews and algorithms); /3) the presentiment that we are on the eve of major research breakthroughs, which may have a significant impact on nosology. There is a further reason, however, for the current hesitation to produce a new edition of the above diagnostic systems, which is seldom made explicit, but is probably not the least important: i.e. the gradually spreading perception that there may have been something incorrect in the assumptions put forward by the neo-Krae- pelinian movement at the beginning of the 1970s, which have guided the development of the modern generation of diagnostic systems. That current diagnostic categories really correspond to discrete natural disease entities is appearing now more and

When one looks at the sets of diagnostic criteria, the DSM-5 is strikingly similar to the DSM-IV. I argue that at this level the DSM has become ‘locked-in’ and difficult to change. At the same time, at the structural, or conceptual, level there have been radical changes, for example, in the definition of ‘mental disorder’, the role of theory and of values, and in the abandonment of multiaxial approach to diagnosis.

  • 1 Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED) Expert Panel
    Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED) Expert Panel Meetings Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality (CBHSQ) September 8 and November 12, 2014 Summary of Panel Discussions and Recommendations In September and November of 2014, SAMHSA/CBHSQ convened two expert panels to discuss several issues that are relevant to generating national and State estimates of childhood serious emotional disturbance (SED). Childhood SED is defined as the presence of a diagnosable mental, behavioral, or emotional disorder that resulted in functional impairment which substantially interferes with or limits the child's role or functioning in family, school, or community activities (SAMHSA, 1993). The September and November 2014 panels brought together experts with critical knowledge around the history of this federal SED definition as well as clinical and measurement expertise in childhood mental disorders and their associated functional impairments. The goals for the two expert panel meetings were to operationalize the definition of SED for the production of national and state prevalence estimates (Expert Panel 1, September 8, 2014) and discuss instrumentation and measurement issues for estimating national and state prevalence of SED (Expert Panel 2, November 12, 2014). This document provides an overarching summary of these two expert panel discussions and conclusions. More comprehensive summaries of both individual meetings’ discussions and recommendations are found in the appendices to this summary. Appendix A includes a summary of the September meeting and Appendix B includes a summary of the November meeting). The appendices of this document also contain additional information about child, adolescent, and young adult psychiatric diagnostic interviews, functional impairment measures, and shorter mental health measurement tools that may be necessary to predict SED in statistical models.

ADVISORY REPORT OF THE SUPERIOR HEALTH COUNCIL no. 9360 DSM (5): The use and status of diagnosis and classification of mental health problems In this scientific advisory report, which offers guidance to public health policy-makers, the Superior Health Council of Belgium provides recommendations on use of classifications in mental health for professionals, policy makers and researchers. This version was validated by the Board on June - 20191 SUMMARY The SHC notes that the most commonly used tools for diagnosing mental health problems (the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), or the International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD)) pose several problems and recommends that they be used with caution and that the DSM categories not be at the centre of care planning. From an epistemological point of view, classifications are based on the assumption that mental disorders occur naturally, and that their designations reflect objective distinctions between different problems, which is not the case.
