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.
