Other contributions included developing the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM (SCID), which has become the most widely used structured diagnostic instru- ment for research, and the Patient Health Questionnaire (PRIME-MD) that is now widely used in primary-care medicine for screening and diagnosis of depression and for monitoring response to treatment. However, the seminal achievement of Spitzer’s career was the establishment of a psychiatric diagnostic system that was empirically based on uniform standards. His exceptional intellectual, organizational, editorial, and political skills were put to test in the production of the DSM-III, which required the development of operationalized diagnostic criteria for every mental disorder in the face of opposition by the then prevailing psychoanalytic community as well as the growing anti-psychiatry movement. Among its key attributes were its specification of symptoms and good diagnostic reliability, which resulted in its consistency across the mental health- care community and widespread acceptance by researchers and clinicians in the USA and internationally. Among the new diagnoses championed by Dr Spitzer as part of the DSM-III process was post-traumatic stress disorder, which was added in the context of increased recognition of the psychological wounds of combat exposure among soldiers Dr Robert Leopold Spitzer, the psychiatrist who trans- returning from the Vietnam War. formed the science and practice of psychiatry by leading the Perhaps Spitzer’s most famous achievement was the development of DSM-III, died from complications of heart removal of the diagnosis of homosexuality as a mental disease on 25 December 2015 in Seattle, WA, where he had disorder.
