Functional disorders in the Neurology section of ICD-11: A landmark opportunity
Functional disorders are one of the most common diagnoses in neurologic practice, but this is not reflected in current classification systems. The 11th revision of the World Health Organization's International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) in 2017 offers an opportunity for these disorders to appear within both neurologic and psychiatric categories for the first time. We discuss the rationale for this proposal and highlight the potential benefits for health professionals and patients. (Source: Neurology)

DSM 5 and child psychiatric disorders: What is new? What has changed?
Authors: Eapen V, Crnčec R Abstract The significant changes in DSM 5 as these relate to a number of the child psychiatric disorders are reviewed by several authors in this special issue: In this paper we address some of the changes in the conceptual organisation of DSM 5 and specifically focus on anxiety and related disorders. In the case of child and adolescent psychiatry, the most notable feature is that the chapter on Disorders Usually First Diagnosed in infancy, Childhood or Adolescence has been deleted. Instead, a new chapter in DSM 5 describes Neurodevelopmental Disorders which typically manifest ea...

Child Maltreatment in DSM‐5 and ICD‐11
This article reviews the definitions of maltreatment in these diagnostic systems, along with assessment and screening tools, and empirically supported prevention and intervention approaches. El maltrato infantil es muy común y tiene un efecto tremendo en los niños que lo sufren y en sus familias. Durante la última década, se han elaborado definiciones de maltrato infantil que están en uso, son legítimas, y pueden aplicarse confiablemente en entornos clínicos. Estas definiciones se han incorporado en la edición revisada del Manual diagnóstico y estadístico de los trastornos mentales (DSM‐5; Asociación Estadoun...

Parent–Child Relational Problem: Field Trial Results, Changes in DSM‐5, and Proposed Changes for ICD‐11
Caregiving relationships are significant factors in the development, mediation, or moderation of childhood mental health problems. However, epidemiological and clinical research has been limited by lack of reliable, succinct, and standardized methods of assessing parent–child relationship constructs. The Relational Processes Workgroup (ad hoc to the DSM‐5 process) proposed more specific criteria to define a parent–child relational problem (PCRP). These criteria were field tested in one of the DSM‐5 Field trial sites, utilizing a similar research design as DSM‐5. Participants included 133 symptomatic children (5...

Categorization of allergic disorders in the new World Health Organization International Classification of Diseases
Conclusions More than providing data to support specific changes into the ongoing linearization, these results highlight the need for either a new chapter entitled Hypersensitivity/Allergic Disorders as in SNOMED CT or a high level structure in the Immunology chapter in order to make classification more appropriate and usable.

Transitioning to a dimensional model of personality disorder in DSM 5.1 and beyond
Purpose of review: To propose options for gradually transitioning to a thoroughgoing dimensional model of personality disorder. Recent findings: The American Psychiatric Association was less willing to implement a dimensional approach to the diagnosis of personality disorder than the leadership of the DSM-5 anticipated. The next opportunity to implement such an approach will be in the ICD-11 and the DSM 5.1. Summary: Instead of seeking a revolutionary change, attempting a more gradual transition that leads to something significantly better in the long run is likely to be more successful. For the long run, in addition to cl...

Bipolar disorders in the new DSM-5 and ICD-11 classifications
Conclusion Since DSM-5 has already been published, changes in the draft of ICD-11, or ongoing changes in DSM-5.1 will be necessary to improve the harmonization of psychiatric diagnoses. (Source: Revista de Psiquiatria y Salud Mental)

Comparison of DSM‐IV and Proposed ICD‐11 Formulations of PTSD Among Civilian Survivors of War and War Veterans
The World Health Organization recently proposed a reformulation of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) for the 11th edition of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD‐11), employing only 6 symptoms. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of this reformulation of PTSD as compared to criteria according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed., DSM‐IV; American Psychiatric Association, 1994) on the prevalence of current PTSD as well as comorbid major depressive episode and anxiety disorders other than PTSD. Study 1 involved previously collected interviews with 560 Kosovar c...

Stereotyped movement disorder in ICD-11.
Abstract According to current proposals for ICD-11, stereotyped movement disorder will be classified in the grouping of neurodevelopmental disorders, with a qualifier to indicate whether self-injury is present, similar to the classification of stereotypic movement disorder in DSM-5. At the same time, the WHO ICD-11 Working Group on the Classification of Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders has proposed a grouping of body-focused repetitive behavior disorders within the obsessive-compulsive and related disorders (OCRD) cluster to include trichotillomania and skin-picking disorder. DSM-5 has taken a sl...

Body-focused repetitive behavior disorders in ICD-11.
This article addresses the question of how body-focused repetitive behavior disorders (e.g., trichotillomania and skin-picking disorder) should be characterized in ICD-11. The article reviews the historical nosology of the two disorders and the current approaches in DSM-5 and ICD-10. Although data are limited and mixed regarding the optimal relationship between body-focused repetitive behavior disorders and nosological categories, these conditions should be included within the obsessive-compulsive and related disorders category, as this is how most clinicians see these behaviors, and as this may optimize clinical utility. ...

Tourette and tic disorders in ICD-11: standing at the diagnostic crossroads.
This article reflects discussion by the WHO ICD-11 Working Group on the Classification of Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders. After reviewing the historical classification of tic disorders, this article discusses their placement in ICD-11. Existing problems with diagnostic labels and criteria, appropriate placement of the tic disorders category within the ICD-11 system, and pragmatic factors affecting classification are reviewed. The article ends with recommendations to (a) maintain consistency with the DSM-5 diagnostic labels for tic disorders, (b) add a minimum duration guideline for a provisional tic disorder di...

Obsessive-compulsive (anankastic) personality disorder: toward the ICD-11 classification.
Abstract Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) is an early-onset disorder characterized by perfectionism, need for control, and cognitive rigidity. Its nosological status is currently under review. Historically, OCPD has been conceptualized as bearing a close relationship with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). In this article, we discuss the diagnosis of OCPD in anticipation of its review for the ICD-11, from the perspective of clinical utility, global applicability, and research planning. Considering the recent establishment of an obsessive-compulsive and related disorders (OCRD) category in...
