Commentary: Repairing a plane while it is flying - reflections on Rutter (2011).

摘要

In this issue, Michael Rutter provides thoughtful observations concerning the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition (DSM-IV; American Psychiatric Association, 2000) and the International Classification of Diseases, 10th edition (ICD-10; World Health Organization, 1992) as well as recommendations for the current revision processes. While Rutter's focus is on child psychiatric diagnosis and classification, many of his concerns, such as the excessive number of poorly validated diagnoses in both current manuals (Rutter, 2011), have implications for the organization of the DSM-5 and ICD-11 that go well beyond disorders of childhood.
