Culturally competent diagnostic systems are necessary for an effective and ethical clinical practice, as cultural diversity of patients increase around the world. Latin American psychiatrists hold a long-standing commitment to this enterprise. Recently, two main Latin American adaptations to the international psychiatric classification have emerged: the Cuban Glossary of Psychiatry, and the project of the Latin American Guide for Psychiatric Diagnosis (GLADP). Keeping ICD-10 as the basis for nosological organization, GLADP is being developed with contributions by mental health professionals from Latin American countries. GLADP comprises 4 parts: (1) historical and cultural framework, (2) comprehensive diagnosis and formulation, (3) psychiatric nosology and (4) appendixes.
随着全球患者文化多样性的增加，具有文化胜任力的诊断系统对于有效且符合伦理的临床实践而言是必要的。拉丁美洲的精神科医生长期致力于这项事业。最近，拉丁美洲对国际精神疾病分类出现了两种主要的改编：古巴精神病学词汇表以及拉丁美洲精神科诊断指南（GLADP）项目。GLADP以《国际疾病分类第10版》（ICD - 10）作为疾病分类组织的基础，由拉丁美洲国家的心理健康专业人员共同参与制定。GLADP包括4个部分：（1）历史和文化框架，（2）综合诊断与表述，（3）精神疾病分类学，以及（4）附录。
