The ICD-10 Classification of Mental and Behavioural Disorders: Clinical Descriptions and Diagnostic Guidelines
Description
Provides clinical descriptions, diagnostic guidelines, and codes for all
mental and behavioral disorders commonly encountered in clinical psychiatry.
The book was developed from chapter V of the Tenth Revision of the
International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health
Problems (ICD-10). The clinical descriptions and diagnostic guidelines were
finalized after field testing by over 700 clinicians and researchers in 110
institutes in 40 countries, making this book the product of the largest ever
research effort designed to improve psychiatric diagnosis. Every effort has
been made to define categories whose existence is scientifically justifiable
as well as clinically useful. The classification divides disorders into ten
groups according to major common themes or descriptive likeness, a new
feature, which makes for increased convenience of use. For each disorder, the
book provides a full description of the main clinical features and all other
important but less specific associated features. Diagnostic guidelines
indicate the number, balance, and duration of symptoms usually required before
a confident diagnosis can be made. Inclusion and exclusion criteria are also
provided, together with conditions to be considered in differential diagnosis.
The guidelines are worded so that a degree of flexibility is retained for
diagnostic decisions in clinical work, particularly in the situation where
provisional diagnosis may have to be made before the clinical picture is
entirely clear or information is complete. Read more
