“…However, whereas psychiatric diagnostic classification systems and disease definitions have long been criticized, the character of the attacks has changed. Half a century ago, they came mainly from outside psychiatry (e.g., 17–18). Today, while these assaults continue 19, discussions about the validity of psychiatric diagnoses are also getting momentum within our profession (certainly fuelled by the imminent revisions of the “big two”) 20–21.…”

“…With this perspective in mind, it can be argued that, while some psychiatric disorders have some kind of “clinical validity” (e.g., bipolar disorder), the DSM has “fabricated non‐validated psychiatric diagnoses out of the general human predicament” 27. Psychiatry “abandoned the island of psychiatric disease and was thus engulfed in the boundless sea of human troubles”, as F. Redlich has put it more than 50 years ago when referring to psychoanalysis (28, quoted in 17). The issue whether we are able to “differentiate between true mental disorders and homeostatic reactions to adverse life events” 29 is more pressing than ever.…”

“…While criticism of psychiatry by professionals has been around for a long time 17–18 and still continues today 65, discontent with our profession is been increasingly voiced also by our “clients”, the patients. Whereas criticism within a profession can be regarded as contrib‐uting to its dynamic development, discontent of clients with a profession may be detrimental.…”

For this survey, social class has been operationalized in terms of the following variables: income, occupation, prestige, residential area, or a composite index. Mental disease is operationalized in terms of clinical diagnosis, hospitalization classification, or psychiatric interview.

Sixty‐four general practice patients diagnosed by a general practitioner as psychiatrically disturbed and 42 patients judged by the general practitioner as psychologically healthy, were interviewed by psychiatrists by means of the “Schedule for a Standardized Assessment of Depressive Disorders” (SADD) developed by WHO. A subsample of 77 patients also filled out the “General Health Questionnaire” (GHQ) by Goldberg. A relatively high agreement between the “General Health Questionnaire” and the psychiatrist's judgement (after interviewing the patient with the SADD) was found. The agreement between the GHQ and the psychiatrist's diagnosis was higher for the psychiatrist's diagnosis of depression than for his diagnosis of “general psychiatric disturbance”. It is recommended to use the “General Health Questionnaire” as a screening tool in general practice.
