If all goes as planned, the American Psychiatric Association will release a new Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) in May 2013. Since 1980, the DSM has provided a shared diagnostic language to clinicians, patients, scientists, school systems, courts, and pharmaceutical and insurance companies; any changes to the influential manual will have serious ramifications. But, argues Dr. Steven Hyman, the DSM is a poor mirror of clinical and biological realities; a fundamentally new approach to diagnostic classification is needed as researchers uncover novel ways to study and understand mental illness.
如果一切按计划进行,美国精神病学协会将于2013年5月发布新版《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》(DSM - 5)。自1980年以来,《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》为临床医生、患者、科学家、学校系统、法院以及制药和保险公司提供了一种通用的诊断语言;这本颇具影响力的手册的任何变化都将产生严重影响。但是,史蒂文·海曼博士认为,《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》并不能很好地反映临床和生物学现实;随着研究人员发现研究和理解精神疾病的新方法,需要一种全新的诊断分类方法。
