Study Notes
DSM-5 Changes
- The multiaxial system has been removed, and clinicians can now make separate notations for psychosocial/contextual factors and extent of disability associated with the diagnosis.
- The use of dimensional axes for rating severity, intensity, frequency, or duration of specific disorders has been substantially expanded.
Term Changes
- "Mental retardation" has been replaced with the more accurate term "intellectual disability", consistent with recent changes by other organizations.
Comorbidity
- Individuals are often diagnosed with more than one psychological disorder at the same time, which is called comorbidity.
Research Methods
- Kiesler's "patient uniformity myth" refers to the tendency to see all participants as one homogeneous group.
- Comparing groups according to their mean scores can hide important differences in individual reactions to interventions.
- Epidemiology is a type of correlational research that studies the incidence, distribution, and consequences of a particular problem or set of problems in one or more populations.
- Epidemiologists study the incidence and prevalence of disorders among different groups of people.
DSM History
- The first Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-I) was published in 1952 by the American Psychiatric Association.
- The second edition of the DSM (DSM-II) was published in 1968.
- The third edition of the DSM (DSM-III) was published in 1980 and departed radically from its predecessors, with three major changes:
- An atheoretical approach to diagnosis, relying on precise descriptions of disorders.
- Specificity and detail in listing criteria for identifying disorders, allowing for reliability and validity studies.
- The introduction of the multiaxial system, allowing clinicians to gather information about an individual's functioning in multiple areas.
- The fourth edition of the DSM (DSM-IV) was published in 1994, eliminating the distinction between organically based and psychologically based disorders.
- DSM-IV-TR was published in 2000, updating the text and making minor changes to criteria for consistency.
- DSM-5 was published in 2013, with three main sections: introduction, disorders, and descriptions of disorders needing further research.
