“…Since the third edition of the manual, DSM has adopted an approach based on descriptive, observable symptomology. 28,29 In contrast, FASD diagnostic approaches use norm-referenced neurodevelopmental data. Although the domains assessed in ND-PAE and FASD diagnostic systems are largely harmonious, the impairment thresholds between them are unclear, with FASD systems using norm-based assessment, and ND-PAE using clinical judgment.…”

“…Clinicians struggled with the application of the personality disorder clusters and evidence of such disagreement was the excessive use of personality disorder "not otherwise specified," which became a diagnostic basin making Axis II murkier rather than clearer. Without the empirical data and valid and reliable measurement tools to support the dimensionality of Axis II, the DSM-IV maintained the categories and the DSM-IV-TR made no changes in the criteria sets or nomenclature (Sanders, 2011).…”

This article provides a brief history of the development of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders published by the American Psychiatric Association, and how it relates to the proposed fifth edition to be published in 2013. Of particular emphasis is Axis II and how this axis is likely to be restructured. The reconceptualization of the nosology for personality disorders has been controversial since the publication of the DSM-III-R (Wilson, 1993). In both the clinical and academic communities, ongoing debate about diagnostic classification of personality disorders has been common. One recurrent theme among the deliberations on diagnosis and personality disorder focuses on the question of whether distinct (categorical) diagnoses exist or whether diagnoses are dimensionally related to each other in some empirically determined way. The proposed changes for Axis II in the DSM-5 are likely to bridge the gap between these two arguments by revamping the overall criteria and discarding the three currently used diagnostic clusters. The resulting nosology proposes six personality disorders with common factors in Criteria A and Criteria B. However, a major concern and a continuing problem not likely to be resolved in this edition is the symptom resemblance of borderline personality disorder and bipolar disorder. This article suggests some ways the revised DSM might affect mental health nursing practice.

“…Along with the optimism of Meyer, Hoch, Sullivan and others, psychiatrists serving in the military also found that the early identification and treatment of mental illness in outpatient settings could help alleviate and prevent worsening of clinical symptoms (Sanders, 2011). So the army made extensive revisions to the Standard Nomenclature, which was finally adopted by all US armed forces.…”

The history of diagnostic classifications in psychiatry has been recognized as a privileged means of access to the vicissitudes inherent to the configuration of a scientific and professional field, also bringing significant contributions to conceptual history. We have taken as primary sources the five editions of the DSM (1952-2013) to examine the construction of diagnostic categories related to schizophrenia proneness, indicating the scientific and social contexts related to the development of DSM and psychiatry itself. Along this process we highlight the conditions of possibility for the emergence of the Attenuated Psychosis Syndrome, a highly controversial diagnostic proposal, in the elaboration of DSM-5. This proposal ended up being rejected not only on scientific grounds, but also because of feared unintended consequences.
