major change to the philosophy behind the DSM 5Participants will be able to list and describe at

Historical Perspective: DSM I (Blashfield, 1998; Scotti & Morris, 2000; Klott, 2013)
DSM Purpose # Diagnosis
Changes Problems
DSM I (1952)
Compiling Knowledge based on info at the time; Original copyright with military
** Harry Stack Sullivan (philosophy)** Meyer (psychiatrist, Nazi affiliation)
3 categories: 1)Organic brain syndromes, 2)Functional DO, 3)Mental deficiency
Total: 106 diagnosis
Only 1 applied to children:
Adjustment Reaction to Childhood/Adolescents
Questionnaires to 10% members;
Subjective perspective
Lack of reliability and/or validity,
Lack of empirical studies
Reaction Theory (Klott, 2013)
“We bring into adulthood early childhood defense mechanisms” Harry Stack Sullivan, 1951
Reaction theory: Trauma + coping strategies = survival Survival can = personality changes into
adulthood
Historical Perspective: DSM II(Blashfield, 1998; Scotti & Morris, 2000; Klott, 2013)
DSM Purpose # Diagnosis
Changes Problems
DSM II (1968)
Further increase communication among professionals
APA associated started and more involved
Medical focus = shirt to pharmacology
11 categories with increased attention to children
Total: 165 diagnosis
Additional category = Behavioral Disorders of Childhood and Adolescents
Lack of reliability and validity;
Lack of description for diagnosis = increased error;
Lack of empirical studies
Historical Perspective: DSM III(Blashfield, 1998; Scotti & Morris, 2000; Klott, 2013)
DSM Purpose # Diagnosis
Changes Problems
DSM III (1980)
Questions of reliability and validity
Multi-axis review
Total = 265 Removal of homosexuality
Political debates over terminology and diagnostic criteria
Became guideline for insurance
Increase in size (p. 92 to p. 482 not “user Friendly”)
Differences in coding between ICD and DSM
Reliability computation across class
Historical Perspective: DSM III R (Blashfield, 1998; Scotti & Morris, 2000; Klott, 2013)
DSM Purpose # Diagnosis
Changes Problems
DSM III R (1987)
New research, field trails and coding
Total = 297 Six new categories deleted
Added: Trichotillomania
Controversial diagnosis considered not used: Premenstrual Syndrome
Different amounts of attention provided to diagnosis
Questioned scientific underpinnings
Field trails by experts = possible bias
Disagreement about axis
Historical Perspective: DSM IV/ IV TR(Blashfield, 1998; Scotti & Morris, 2000; Klott, 2013)
DSM Purpose # Diagnosis
Changes Problems
DSM IV Increased research findings3 step process:1) Literature review2) Data gathering and analysis3) Field trials
Total = 365(p. 886)
Restructuring categories
Provides information on each DO
Sources = decision trees and glossaries
Bias toward biological
Problems with symptoms overlap between diagnosis
Continued new axis focus
DSM IV TR Corrected typing errors
Client centered language and Cultural diversity
DSM 5 Philosophy(Klott, 2013)
Started 1999: Delays due to replacing members (50% outside US)
Reflects ICD 10Reduce stigma of mental disordersReduce use of medicationsFocus on relationship in therapy and
diagnosisRedefining goal of manual: Sullivan focus
vs. billingMandatory compliance of October 2015

Change to single diagnosis with emphasis given to severity index
Do still focuses on: 1) Deficits in social communication and social interaction and 2) Restricted repetitive behaviors/interests/activities
What severity index will be covered? (3 or 4 only?)
Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity DO(APA, 2013; Klott, 2013)
Criteria similarFew change highlights: Information added

Interesting research:60% of those diagnosed as children will still
have as an adultAdult symptoms = irritability, difficult
concentrating, increased use of cannabis and cocaine
Schizophrenia Spectrum and Other Psychotic DO (APA, 2013; Klott, 2013)
SchizophreniaSchizoaffective DO

(i.e. substance abused psychosis, schizoaffective DO and MDD with psychotic features
Must complete risk assessment within first 6 weeks of diagnosis due to increased risk for suicide
Interesting research: Females increased risk ages 17-24 with high paranoia, males increased risk ages 36-42
Attenuated Psychosis Syndrome(Klott, 2013)
Not billable due to being in section 3Research not completed on section 3
diagnosesUse for early symptoms of schizophrenia

psychosis, elated mood, rapid speech, racing thoughts, refuses sleep
Depression = personality change, drop in grades, morbid thoughts, pessimistic, suicidal ideation, somatic complaints

Suicide should be assessed on bothBipolar I research:
Psychotic driven grandiosityDepressive episodes = disablingSyntonicDecrease risk for suicide (except at psych
hospital, new meds or realize what has been done during mania)
Bipolar II research:Increased risk for suicide during hypomania if
high levels of irritability
Depressive DisordersDisruptive Mood Dysregulation DOPremenstrual Dysphoric DO

Separation Anxiety DOSelective Mutism
Generalized Anxiety DO(Klott, 2013)Must access for suicide riskSymptoms noted as either: in children, in
adolescents or in adultsIn children 0 – 11 years, GAD is noted as:
terror, fear around natural disasters (3 or 4 severity)
Adolescents: performance issues in athletics or academics (3 or severity)*** higher risk for suicide
Adults: persistent worry about lots of things, high level of crisis, busy style to deal with worry** * higher risk for suicide
Suicidal Ideation in GAD(Klott, 2013)
Use of Cannabis = high suicide riskDoes not typically seek treatment due to
busy management styleCannot relax due to anxiety and cannabis
forces this…person unable to copeHymen and Waggonner (80-100% will
attempt with these factors present)Affected by THC level (past = 3-5% and
now = 13-15%)
Trauma and Stress Related DOReactive Attachment DODisinhibited Social Engagement DOPosttraumatic Stress DOAdjustment DO (now housed in this
category)Non-suicidal self injurious behavior (section
III)
Reactive Attachment DO and Inhibited Social Engagement DO (APA, 2013; Klott, 2013)
Both must look at Specifier 4 (Pathogenic care realms)
Reactive Attachment DOInconsistent nurturing/attachmentResponses to relationship = anxiety or no emotional
intimacyNot due to autismBefore age 6 years
Disinhibited Social Engagement DO Own distinct DO (instead of specifier in RAD)Little or inconsistent nurturing/attachmentNo boundaries: accepts love/affection from anyoneBefore age 6 yearsNo better accounted for by ADHD

relationship challenges, emotional constriction, guilt/shame
Increased risk for suicide with guilt/shame

childhoodThis addresses the “why” behind cuttingTypes:
Emotional Regulation Deficits (i.e. anger/rage)Dissociative ExperiencesBody Dysmorphic Issues (i.e. de-sexualize)Anxiety-Depression Regulation (most common)Isolation and Social Cohesion Needs (female
