Document Summary
First step assessment what am i looking at . All three are ongoing processes: diagnosis contentious issue in clinical psychology, benefit, significant benefits, selection of treatment (most significant benefit of diagnosis, harms, significant harms, stigma (most significant harm) applying a label. Psychology trying to abandon labelling: many attempts to develop systems to classify disorders, example dsm5, current classification system used in north america, dsm tries to statistically classify normal behaviour but fails. Dsm3r revised to reflect different statistics. Dsm4 1990s new categories, removal of some categories: not compatible with icd. Dsm4tr late 90s text revision, new version revised text. Dsm5 may 2013 attempt to use more statistical norms (make it (elaborative) more statistical: another goal was to make it 100% compatible with icd, dsm contains the compatible description of the disorder in icd10. 100% overlap does not occur because there are disorders that icd consider abnormal that dsm doesn"t and vice versa: biological assessment and diagnosis, genetic, neurochemical.
