Dimensional measures
When was the first edition of the DSM (DSM-I) created and published?
The first edition of the DSM (DSM-I) was created and published in 1952 by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) as a standardized manual for diagnosing mental disorders.
According to Adolf Meyer, how are mental disorders understood in terms of an individual’s personality?
According to Adolf Meyer, mental disorders are seen as reactions of the personality to psychological, social, and biological factors, rather than as diseases or illnesses. These reactions reflect how an individual adapts to life challenges.
How did the DSM-III coordinate with the development of ICD-9?
The DSM-III (published in 1980) coordinated with the development of ICD-9, which was published in 1975 and implemented in 1978. This coordination helped ensure consistency between the two systems in diagnosing mental health disorders, with the DSM-III aligning its criteria with the ICD-9 codes for accurate classification.
TRUE OR FALSE: The DSM-III was developed in coordination with the ICD-9, which was published in 1975 and implemented in 1980.
False. While the DSM-III coordinated with the development of ICD-9, ICD-9 was published in 1975 and implemented in 1978, not 1980.
When was the DSM-III first developed, and when was it officially published?
The DSM-III was first developed around 1974 and was officially published in 1980 by the American Psychiatric Association (APA).
How did Robert L. Spitzer contribute to the development of the DSM-III through explicit diagnostic criteria?
Robert L. Spitzer introduced explicit diagnostic criteria for each mental disorder in the DSM-III. These criteria consisted of clear, detailed checklists of symptoms, making the diagnostic process objective, reliable, and consistent across different clinicians. This innovation reduced variability in diagnoses and improved the accuracy of mental health assessments.
How did Robert L. Spitzer help shape the DSM-III with the adoption of a descriptive approach?
Robert L. Spitzer championed a descriptive approach in the DSM-III, which focused on observing and describing the symptoms and behaviors of mental disorders, rather than delving into psychological causes. This shift made the DSM more scientifically grounded and empirical, allowing for a more objective and practical method of diagnosing mental health conditions.
