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.

  • The Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act: Legal and Psychological Aspects of the New Civil Commitment Law for Federal Sex Offenders
    THE ADAM WALSH CHILD PROTECTION AND SAFETY ACT: LEGAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF THE NEW CIVIL COMMITMENT LAW FOR FEDERAL SEX OFFENDERS JOHN FABIAN* ABSTRACT The Adam Walsh Act (AWA) became law on July 27, 2006, and is the most expansive and punitive sex offender law ever initiated by the federal government. One aspect of the statute, and the topic of this article, is the civil commitment of federal sex offenders. The AWA civil commitment law has its roots in prior U.S. Supreme Court cases including Kansas v. Hendricks and Kansas v. Crane. 1 While the federal commitment statute is similar to traditional state commitment laws, the AWA does not provide for a finding of “likely” to commit sex offenses. Rather, the statute defines a “sexually dangerous person” as having “serious difficulty refraining from sexually violent conduct or child molestation if released.” Assessing the likelihood of recidivism and volitional impairments leading to sexual recidivism in light of the AWA and state commitment statutes are critical determinations. The accuracy, validity, and interrater reliability of the measurement of volitional impairment is considerably lacking among experts and within the empirical literature of sex offending in general. Similarly, examining the legal terms “mental illness, abnormality, or disorder” under the AWA will entail a thoughtful application of clinical psychiatric diagnoses recognized in the mental health profession. Many of these psychiatric diagnoses (primarily paraphilias) utilized in legal commitment proceedings are debated by adversarial expert witnesses in these hearings. As the AWA pertains to federal sex offenders, the expert witness must consider their differences from state sex offenders, as many of the former group are more likely to * Dr.

In this review I emphasize that the core question is the first – what is the nature of psychiatric illness – and that in some manner all further questions follow from the first. Following this review I attempt to move the discussion forward, addressing the first question from the perspectives of natural kind analysis and complexity analysis. This reflection leads toward a view of psychiatric disorders – and future nosologies – as far more complex and uncertain than we have imagined. General conclusion issues in DSM-5 [16,17].
