Clinical criteria for psychiatric diagnosis and DSM-III

·1975·American Journal of Psychiatry

Abstract

The authors identify the differences in formal inclusion and exclusion criteria used to classify patient data into diagnoses as the largest source of diagnostic unreliability in psychiatry. They describe the efforts that have been made to reduce these differences, particularly the specified criteria approach to defining diagnostic categories, which was developed for research purposes. On the basis of studies showing that the use of specified criteria increases the reliability of diagnostic judgments, they suggest that including such criteria in the next edition of APA's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-III) would improve the reliability and validity of routine psychiatric diagnosis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
