  • Published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA)
  • an adaptation of Medical 203 and the "Standard"
  • psychodynamic approach
  • listed disorders and defined them briefly
  • mainly intended to help keep statistical records
  • very different from today's; e.g., listed homosexuality as a "disorder"

  • Pushed by movements from behaviourists who criticised use of unobservable constructs like "trauma" & "motivation"
  • Also argued this could make psychiatry a way of identifying non-conformists, creating social control
  • Besides changes, still grounded in psychoanalytical approach
  • Primary change: gave possible origins of disorders. 
  • Homosexuality kept as a disorder initially, changed in later prints. 
  • Aligned better w/ International Classification of Diseases (ICD)
  • Disorders were described in detail; allowed clinicians to interpret phenomena in own way
  • However, still not very reliable

APA aimed to make a more standardised diagnostic tool for US & others. 265 diagnostic categories organised into 5 groups (axes):
    • Axes I – Clinical Disorders: depression, anxiety, ADHD, schizophrenia. 
    • Axis II – Personality Disorders: paranoid personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder & disabilities. 
    • Axis III – General Medical Disorders: Acute medical conditions & physical disorders such as brain injuries
    • Axis IV- Psychosocial & environmental disorders: Family problems, housing problems, economic issues. 
    • Axis V – The Global Assessment of Function: assessing the impact a person’s behaviour has on their social, work & personal life.

  • Clinical significance criterion created. Required patients to exhibit symptoms clinically significant enough to cause distress or impairment in one’s life. 
  • Intended to reduce overmedication. 
  • Expounded on the 5 axes, highlighting different aspects of disorders.

  • Removed the multi-axial system
  • Clinicians realised many disorders share the same/similar symptoms. The DSM-IV's axial system forced clinicians into making diagnosis when mental disorders are more fluid
  • Aimed to make a "living" document that could be changed, give clinicians more flexibility when treating patients
