Nature of Cognitive Psychology & Current Trends
According to Neisser(1967), Cognitive Psychology is the branch of psychology concerned with how people acquire, store, transform, use and communicate information.
Cognitive Psychology deals with our mental life; what goes inside our heads when we perceive, attend, remember, think, categorize, reason, decide, and so forth.
The house-tree-person test (HTP) is a projective personality test, a type of exam in which the test taker responds to or provides ambiguous, abstract, or unstructured stimuli (often in the form of pictures or drawings).

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

1. What is Classification and Why Do It
11
Purpose of Classification of Psychopathology
Classification
• The process of constructing categories and assigning people to these
categories on the basis of their attributes.
• In scientific context, it refers to taxonomy.
• It also refers to nomenclature, which describes the names and labels that may
make up a particular disorder such as schizophrenia or depression.
1.
Communication
• Labelling and
organizing patterns
of experiences and
behaviors enables
researchers to
communicate their
findings with one
another
2.
Control
• Classification helps
better control of the
disorders. Certain
psychological
disorders respond
better to one
therapy than
another or to one
drug than another.
3.
Comprehension
• Classification helps
researchers
understand the
disorder and take
decisions about the
disorder.
4.
Distinction
• Classification helps
distinguish between
different disorders
and populations with
similar patterns of
abnormal behavior.
• Example: By
classifying a group
as depressed
researchers can
identify common
factors to explain the
origin of depression.
5.
Prognosis/Prediction
• Classification also
helps clinicians
predict behavior.

1
Categorical Approach
• Kraepelin was the first
psychiatrist to classify
psychological disorders from a
biological or medical point of
view.
• There is one set of causative
factors which does not overlap
with other disorders - one
defining criteria which all
members of the category or
group should meet, e.g.
Schizophrenia.
• After a category has been
defined, an object is either a
member of the category or it is
not.
• This approach assumes that the
distinctions amongst members
of different categories are
qualitative – they reflect a
difference in kind (quality)
rather than a difference in
amount (quantity).
2
Dimensional Approach
• It describes the objects of
classification in terms of
continuous dimensions.
• Rather than assuming that an
object either has or does not
have a particular property, it
focuses on a specific
characteristic and determines
how much of that characteristic
the object exhibits.
• The variety of cognitions,
moods and behaviors presented
by the patient are noted and
quantified on a scale.
• Example: on a scale of 1-10, a
patient might be rated as
severely anxious (10),
moderately depressed (5), and
mildly manic (2) to create a
profile of emotional functioning
(10, 5, 2).
• The approach is relatively
unsatisfactory.
3
Prototypical Approach
• It identifies some essential
characteristics of a disorder and
allows for certain non-essential
variations that do not
necessarily change the
classification.
• Disorder is classified by
different possible features or
properties any patient must
meet (but not all) of them to fall
in that category.
• Example: In depression, there
are five important symptoms:
depressed mood all the day,
weight loss, insomnia, fatigue
and feeling of worthlessness. A
person with three of the above
characteristics will still be
diagnosed as depressed.

4.2 A Brief History of DSM
21
• In 1950 the
APA
committee on
Nomenclature
and Statistics
undertook a
review and
consultation to
circulate DSM-
I which was
approved in
1951 and
published in
1952.
• The structure
and
conceptual
framework
were the same
as in Medical
203, and many
passages of
text identical.
1952
• In view of
needs arisen
from World
War II, a
committee
headed by
psychiatrist
and brigadier
general
William C.
Menninger
with the help
of US
psychiatrists
developed a
new
classification
scheme called
Medical 203.
1943
• Subsequently,
this was
revised
several times
by APA over
the years.
1917-1943
• The APA, then
known as
Committee on
Statistics,
together with
the National
Commission
on Mental
Hygiene,
developed a
new guide for
mental
hospitals
called the
“Statistical
Manual for
the Use of
Institutions
for the
Insane”, which
included 22
diagnoses.
1917
• Seven
categories of
mental
disorders were
mentioned in
the census:
mania,
melancholia,
monomania,
paresis,
dementia,
dipsomania,
and epilepsy.
1880
• The National
census used a
single
category,
“idiocy/insanit
y”.
1840
Need of statistical information regarding mental disorders stimulated a revolution in the efforts of development of a
classification system in the United States.

4.2.1 Revisions of DSM (1/5)
22
• In 1949, the World Health Organisation published the sixth revision of the
International Statistical Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) which included a section
on mental disorders for the first time.
• Consequently, an APA Committee on Nomenclature and Statistics was empowered
to develop a classification system for use in the United States.
• In 1950 the APA committee undertook a review and consultation to circulate the
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-1 (DSM-I) which was
approved in 1951 and published in 1952.
• The structure and conceptual framework were the same as in Medical 203, and
many passages of text identical.
• The manual was 130 pages long and listed 106 mental disorders.
• DSM-I made 94% changes in nomenclature from the prior system and seventy
disorder terms used “Reaction,” e.g., schizophrenic reaction. This included reaction
to internal conflict.
• DSM-I is criticised for its psychoanalytic theoretical orientation. The term
“Unconscious” was mentioned a few times in describing psychoneurotic disorders in
DSM-I.
DSM-I (1952)

• Despite APA’s involvement in the revision of the mental disorder section of the
ICD-8 in 1968, it also published a revision of the DSM in 1968, which listed 182
disorders, and was 134 pages long. It was quite similar to the DSM-I.
• The term “reaction” was dropped but the term “neurosis” was retained.
• Both the DSM-I and the DSM-II reflected the predominant psychodynamic
psychiatry, although they also included biological perspectives and concepts
from Kraepelin’s system of classification.
• Symptoms were not specified in detail for specific disorders. Many of the
disorders were seen as reflections of broad underlying conflicts or
maladaptive reactions to life problems, rooted in a distinction between
neurosis and psychosis (roughly, anxiety/depression broadly in touch with
reality, or hallucinations/delusions appearing disconnected from reality).
• Sociological and biological knowledge was also incorporated, in a model that
did not emphasise a clear boundary between normality and abnormality.
• After wide post publication criticism of DSM-II, the term “Homosexuality” was
replaced with “Ego-dystonic Homosexuality” in 1973.

• To make the DSM nomenclature consistent with ICD the decision to create a new revision of the DSM
was made in 1974 with Robert Spitzer as chairman of the task force.
• This revision was aimed at improving the uniformity and validity of psychiatric diagnosis,
standardising diagnostic practices across the world and to facilitate the pharmaceutical regulatory
process to avoid criticisms levelled on DSM-II.
• The criteria for many of the mental disorders were taken from the Research Diagnostic Criteria and
Feighner Criteria. New categories of disorder and their criteria were established by consensus during
meetings of the committee.
• The psychodynamic or physiologic view was abandoned, in favour of a regulatory or legislative
model.
• A new “multi-axial” system attempted to yield a picture more amenable to a statistical population
census, rather than just a simple diagnosis. The classification had five axes.
• DSM conceptualised each of the mental disorders as a clinically significant behavioural or
psychological syndrome.
• Published in 1980, the DSM-III was 494 pages long and listed 265 diagnostic categories. It rapidly came
into widespread international use.
• DSM-III was published with 93% changes in nomenclature from the earlier version of DSM with
diagnostic criteria for each of the disorders mentioned.
• It had a vast increase in background information about each disorder, adding diagnostic features,
associated features, cultural and gender features; prevalence, course, familiar patterns, differential
diagnosis, decision trees and glossary.
• DSM-III was criticized on the ground that 20-30 percent of the population would have been diagnosed
as having behavioural disorders without having any serious mental problems.

• The DSM-III-R was published as a revision of DSM-III in 1987. Categories were
renamed, reorganised, and significant changes in criteria were made. Six
categories were deleted, while some new categories were added.
• Controversial diagnoses such as pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder and
Masochistic Personality Disorder were discarded. “Sexual orientation
disturbance” was also removed and was largely subsumed under “sexual
disorder not otherwise specified” which can include “persistent and marked
distress about one’s sexual orientation.”
• DSM-III-R contained 292 diagnoses and was 567 pages long.

• A “Text Revision” of the DSM-IV,
known as the DSM-IVTR, was
published in 2000.
• The diagnostic categories and the
vast majority of the specific
criteria for diagnosis were
unchanged.
• The text sections giving extra
information on each diagnosis
were updated, as were some of
the diagnostic codes in order to
maintain consistency with the ICD.
DSM-IV (TR) (2000)
• DSM-IV was published in 1994
listing 297 disorders in 886 pages.
• Process of development of DSM-
IV included extensive literature
review of diagnoses, analyses to
determine required change in
criteria and multicenter field trials
relating diagnoses to clinical
practice.
• A major change from previous
versions was the inclusion of a
clinical significance criterion to
almost half of all the categories,
which required symptoms cause
“clinically significant distress or
impairment in social, occupational,
or other important areas of
functioning”.

4.2.2 DSM-IV (TR)
27
• DSM is the standard for classifying mental disorders used by mental health professionals in
the United States.
• It is applicable in a wide variety of contexts and used by clinicians and researchers of
different orientations such as biological, psychodynamic, cognitive, behavioural,
interpersonal, family/systems.
• DSM IV (Text Revision) has been designed for use across settings - inpatient, outpatient,
partial hospitalisation, consultation-liaison, clinic, private practice and primary care.
• Psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, nurses, occupational and rehabilitation
therapists, counsellors and other health and mental health professionals use DSM
• DSM is also a necessary tool for collecting and communicating accurate public health
statistics.

4.2.3 Components/Features of DSM-IV (TR)
28
DSM consists of three major components/features:
1
Diagnostic Classification
• DSM-IV (TR) is a categorical
classification system.
• The categories are prototypes, and
a patient with a close approximation
to the prototype is said to have the
disorder with qualifiers, such as mild,
moderate or severe disorder.
• For nearly half the disorders,
symptoms must be sufficient to
cause clinically significant distress
or impairment in occupational,
social, or other important areas of
functioning, although the distress
criterion of tic disorders and
paraphilias was removed.
• While diagnosing the disorder best
reflecting the signs and symptoms
afflicting the client is selected
• Each diagnostic label has an
associated diagnostic code, which is
used primarily by institutions and
agencies for data collection. These
codes are derived from ICD-9-CM -
the coding system used by all
health care professionals in the US,.
2
Diagnostic Criteria
• Each disorder included in the DSM-
IV (TR) includes a set of diagnostic
criteria including symptoms that are
present and for how long.
• These criteria called inclusion
criteria as well as those symptoms
that must not be present called
exclusion criteria qualify an
individual for a particular diagnosis.
• Many users of the DSM-IV (TR) find
these diagnostic criteria useful
because they provide a compact
description of each disorder.
• Use of this diagnostic criterion has
increased diagnostic reliability and
the likelihood that different
individuals will assign the same
diagnosis.
• It is important to remember that
these criteria are meant to be used
as a guideline by an informed
clinician.
3
Descriptive Text
• The third component of the DSM-IV
(TR) is the descriptive text that
accompanies each disorder.
• The text of the DSM-IV (TR)
systematically describes each
disorder under the following
headings:
• Diagnostic Features
• Subtypes and/or Specifies
• Recording Procedures
• Associated Features and Disorders
• Specific Culture, Age, and Gender
Features
• Prevalence
• Course
• Familial Pattern
• Differential Diagnosis.

4.2.4 Multi-Axial Classifications
29
The DSM-IV (TR) recommends clinicians to assess an individual’s mental state across five factors or axes. Together the
five axes provide a broad range of information about the individual’s functioning, not just a diagnosis.
Axis I: Clinical
Disorders and Other
Conditions That May
Be a Focus of Clinical
Attention
• This axis incorporates a wide range of clinical syndromes,
including anxiety disorders, mood disorders, schizophrenia and
other psychotic disorders, adjustment disorders, and disorders
usually first diagnosed during infancy, childhood, or adolescence
(except for mental retardation, which is coded on Axis II).
Axis II: Personality
Disorders and Mental
Retardation
• Personality disorders are enduring and rigid patterns of
maladaptive behavior that typically impair relationships with
others and social functioning.
Axis III: General
Medical Conditions
• All medical conditions and diseases that may be important to the
understanding or treatment of an individual’s mental disorders
are coded on Axis III.
Axis IV: Psychosocial
and Environmental
Problems
• The psychosocial and environmental problems that affect the
diagnosis, treatment, or outcome of a mental disorder are placed
on Axis IV.
Axis V: Global
Assessment of
Relational
Functioning (GARF)
• The clinician rates the client’s current level of psychological,
social, and occupational functioning using a 0-100 scale.

syndromes, including anxiety disorders, mood
disorders, schizophrenia and other psychotic
disorders, adjustment disorders, and disorders
usually first diagnosed during infancy, childhood, or
adolescence (except for mental retardation, which is
coded on Axis II).
• Axis I also includes relationship problems, academic
or occupational problems, and bereavement,
conditions that may be the focus of diagnosis and
treatment but that do not in themselves constitute
definable psychological disorders.
• Also coded on Axis I are psychological factors that
affect medical conditions, such as anxiety that
exacerbates an asthmatic condition or depressive
symptoms that delay recovery from surgery.

• Personality disorders are enduring and rigid patterns
of maladaptive behaviour that typically impair
relationships with others and social functioning.
• These include antisocial, paranoid, narcissistic, and
borderline personality disorders.
• Mental retardation, which is also coded on Axis II,
involves pervasive intellectual impairment.
• People may be given either Axis I or Axis II diagnoses
or a combination of the two when both apply.
• Example: a person may receive a diagnosis of an
anxiety disorder (Axis I) and a second diagnosis of a
personality disorder (Axis II).

4.2.4.3 Axis III: General Medical Conditions
32
• All medical conditions and diseases that may be important to the understanding or
treatment of an individual’s mental disorders are coded on Axis III.
• Example, if hypothyroidism were a direct cause of an individual’s mood disorder (such as
major depression), it would be coded under Axis III.
• Medical conditions that affect the understanding or treatment of a mental disorder (but
that are not direct causes of the disorder) are also listed on Axis III.
• For instance, the presence of a heart condition may determine whether a particular
course of drug therapy should be used with a depressed person.

4.2.4.4 Axis IV: Psychosocial and Environmental
Problems

Example: Inadequate health care services or health
insurance
8. Problems related to interaction with the legal
system/crime. Example: Arrest.
9. Other psychosocial problems. Example: Natural
disasters, war, problems with caregivers outside the
family etc.
• The psychosocial and environmental
problems that affect the diagnosis,
treatment, or outcome of a mental
disorder are placed on Axis IV.
• These include job loss, marital separation
or divorce, homelessness or inadequate
housing, lack of social support, the death
or loss of a friend, overexposure to war or
other disasters.
• Some positive life events, such as a job
promotion, may also be listed on Axis IV,
but only when they create problems for the
individual, such as difficulties adapting to a
new job.

4.2.4.5 Axis V: Global Assessment of Relational
Functioning (GARF)
34
GARF Codes
1. 91-100 Superior functioning across a wide variety of
activities of daily life
2. 81-90 Absent or minimal symptoms, no more than
everyday problems or concerns
3. 71-80 Transient and predictable reactions to stressful
events, or no more than slight impairment in
functioning
4. 61-70 Some mild symptoms, or some difficulty in social,
occupational, or school functioning, but functioning
pretty well
5. 51-60 Moderate symptoms, or moderate difficulties in
social, occupational, or school functioning
6. 41-50 Serious symptoms, or any serious impairment in
social, occupational, or school functioning
7. 31-40 Some impairment in reality testing or
communication, or major impairment in several areas
8. 21-30 Strong influence on behaviour of delusions or
hallucinations, or serious impairment in communication
or judgment, or inability to function in almost all areas
9. 11-20 Some danger of hurting self or others, or
occasionally fails to maintain personal hygiene, or
gross impairment in communication
10. 1-10 Persistent danger of severely hurting self or others,
or persistent inability to maintain minimal personal
hygiene, or seriously suicidal act
• The clinician rates the client’s current level
of psychological, social, and occupational
functioning using a 0-100 scale.
• The clinician may also indicate the highest
level of functioning achieved for at least a
few months during the preceding year.
• The level of current functioning indicates
the current need for treatment or intensity
of care.
• The level of highest functioning is
suggestive of the level of functioning that
might be restored.
• The GARF Scale can be used to indicate an
overall judgment of the functioning of a
family or other ongoing relationship on a
hypothetical continuum ranging from
competent, optimal relational functioning
to a disrupted, dysfunctional relationship
(APA, 2000).

Advantages of DSM
• DSM has provided a common language for discussing diagnoses.
• There has been an increase in attention to behaviours and the facilitation of the overall
learning of psychopathology.
• Seligman (1990) has indicated that knowledge of diagnosis is important for counsellors so
that they may provide a diagnosis for clients.
• In addition, the DSM diagnosis assists with accountability, record keeping, treatment
planning, communication with other helping professionals and identification of client with
issues beyond areas of expertise.
Disadvantages of DSM
• Promotion of a mechanistic approach to mental disorder assessment.
• There is a false impression that the understanding of mental disorders is more advanced
than is actually the case.
• There is an excessive focus on the signs and symptoms of mental disorders to the
exclusion of a more in depth understanding of the client’s problems including human
development.

Major Issues with/Criticism of DSM-IV (TR)
1
Validity and Reliability
of diagnoses
• DSM lacks validity
because it has no
relation to an agreed
scientific model of
mental disorder - the
decisions taken about
its categories were not
scientific.
• It lacks reliability
because different
diagnoses share many
criteria, and even
different criteria are
merely rewordings of
the same idea,
meaning the decision
to allocate one
diagnosis or another is
a matter of personal
prejudice (McLaren,
2007).
2
Superficial symptoms
• By design, the DSM is
primarily concerned
with the signs and
symptoms of mental
disorders, rather than
the underlying causes.
• It is based on
statistical or clinical
patterns and avoids
causative or
explanatory
basis/biases.
• The DSM is based on
an underlying
structure that assumes
discrete medical
disorders that can be
separated from each
other by symptom
patterns.
3
Unjustified Categorical
Distinctions
• It makes unjustified
categorical distinctions
between disorders,
and uses arbitrary cut-
offs between normal
and abnormal.
• Attempts to
demonstrate natural
boundaries between
related DSM
syndromes or between
a common DSM
syndrome and
normality have failed
(Dalal & Sivakumar,
2009).
4
Cultural Bias
• DSM-IV (TR) relies on
an exaggerated
interpretation of
neurophysiological
findings and so
understate the
scientific importance
of social-psychological
variables (Widiger, &
Sankis, 2000).
• Cultural and ethnic
diversity of individuals
is often discounted by
researchers and
service providers.
• Current diagnostic
guidelines have been
criticized as having a
fundamentally Euro-
American outlook.
5
Influence of Drug
Companies
• The way the
categories of the DSM-
IV (TR) are structured
and the number of
categories have been
substantially
expanded is often
attributed to the
influence of
pharmaceutical
companies and
psychiatrists (Healy,
2006).
• Half of the authors
who selected and
defined the DSM-IV
psychiatric disorders
had financial
relationships with the
pharmaceutical
industry.
