The DSM-5:
Overview of Main Themes
and Diagnostic Revisions
James Tobin, Ph.D. | November 2, 2013

Presented at the Symposium on DSM-5
Sponsored by OCPA and the American
School of Professional
Psychology/Argosy University
2

Abstract
• DSM-5 represents the field’s most recent
attempt at revising the DSM-IV-TR diagnostic
nomenclature. In this presentation, I will
outline the primary efforts of the DSM-5 Task
Force and the major diagnostic changes that
were incorporated in the new manual, with an
emphasis on the disorders of adulthood.
3

Abstract
• The most promising changes are the
organization of mental illness as a spectrum, the
addition of dimensionality to specifier
descriptions, lifespan/development and cultural
refinements, and the articulation of a new hybrid
model of mental illness.
4

Abstract
• In the context of these gains, I also will provide a
summary of the major controversies
surrounding the DSM-5, including misgivings
about lower thresholds to qualify for numerous
diagnoses and the related concern that we may
now run the risk of pathologizing “normal”
human functioning.

DSM-IV, -IV-TR, and -5 Publication
Dates and Page Lengths
• DSM-IV-TR: First issued in 1994 (968 pages).
• DSM-IV-TR: Revised in 2000 (988 pages).
• DSM-5:Update initiated in 1999 and finally

• Appendix.
10

How Was the DSM-5 Developed?
• APA organized groups of experts in distinct
areas to assess diagnostic categories and
disorders;
• Came up with consensus viewpoints on
symptomatic descriptors;
• Field-tested new descriptors to determine
revised diagnostic criteria (cluster sets and
thresholds).
• Presented to APA Board Trustees for sign-off.
11

Part II. Primary Goals of DSM-5 and
10 Major Changes
12

Primary Goals of DSM-5 Task Force in
Creating the New Manual
• Increase cultural sensitivity;
• Deepen the clinician’s understanding of the
client;
• Increase awareness of the neurobiology
underpinning mental disorders;
• Appraise the role of social and contextual factors
associated with psychiatric symptoms.
From Zur Institute (2013)
13

Change #1. Make More User-Friendly
• The multiaxial system has been abandoned.
• Axes I, II, and III have been combined.
• All clinical disorders are simply listed in order of
priority (no real hierarchy of axes implied).
• No more GAF (people tended to use very
idiosyncratically, and did not follow the
symptom severity x impairment rating codes).
14

Change #2. Incorporate a Spectrum
Perspective
15

Change #2. Incorporate a Spectrum
Perspective
• Based on two emerging realizations in the field
(Zur Institute, 2013):
(1) There is not much evidence that
disorders are actually categorically
distinct from one another (both within
and across diagnostic categories).
(2) The distinction between “normal”
and “abnormal” behavior is, ultimately,
arbitrary.
16

Change #2. Incorporate a Spectrum
Perspective
• Example: OCD is removed from the “Anxiety
Disorders” category (DSM-IV-TR) and
repositioned in a new category called
“Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders”
(DSM-5).
• The beam of light going into the prism
(underlying core factor of anxiety)
splits into several separate but
related diagnostic categories.
17

Change #2. Incorporate a Spectrum
Perspective
• The 20 newly-refined diagnostic categories of
mental disorders depict updated groupings
of all disorders, with each grouping
sharing similar characteristics.
• Has resulted in a fair amount of reshuffling of
the deck, e.g., “Neurodevelopmental Disorders”
(includes Autism Spectrum Disorder,
ADHD, and other disorders reflecting
abnormal brain development).
18

Change #3. Incorporate Dimensionality
19

Change #3. Incorporate Dimensionality
• Diagnostic thresholds (categorical/qualitative)
are now supplemented by the degree to which
the diagnosis is present
(dimensional/quantitative).
• Severity ratings (from minimal to more extreme
levels): typically, symptom counts.
20

Change #4. Reflect a Developmental
Perspective
• (1) Chapter structure of DSM-5 follows a
neurodevelopmental life span approach
(congruent with the system used by the ICD
[World Health Organization]):
Early development: Neurodevelopmental
Disorders; Schizophrenia Spectrum and
Other Psychotic Disorders; etc.
Adolescence/early adulthood:
Depressive Disorders; Anxiety Disorders; etc.
Later life: Neurocognitive Disorders.
21

Change #4. Reflect a Developmental
Perspective
(2) For specific disorders, variations of symptom
presentations across the lifespan are described.
22

Change #5. Increase the Emphasis on
Culture and Gender
• Cultural information and gender differences are
included wherever relevant.
• Previous cultural formulation replaced with the
Cultural Formulation Interview (CFI; pp.
750-757), a structured clinical interview that
assesses the client’s subjective view of cultural
factors re: the presentation of symptoms (effort
is to diminish the clinician’s own cultural
biases).
23

Change #6. Enhance Descriptive
Information for Diagnoses
• Many specifiers provided.
• Severity ratings provided.
• Not Otherwise Specified (NOS) deleted, but here
is what they came up with instead: if not meet
full criteria for the disorder use “Other
Specified” (need to give a reason)
or “Unspecified Disorder”
(don’t need to give a reason).
24

Change #7. Match the International
Classification of Diseases (ICD) Codes
• DSM-5 includes equivalent ICD-9 and ICD-10
codes.
• The U.S. will adopt the ICD-10 in October, 2014;
however, by that time, most of the world will
already be using ICD-11.
25

Change #8. Reinvent DSM To Be a
“Living” Document
• DSM-5 (Arabic numeral) vs. DSM-IV-TR
(Roman numeral).

• More readily incorporate advances generated by
new research, neuroscience, and investigations
re: the genetics of psychiatric illness.
26

Change #9. Introduce the Potential of the
So-called “Hybrid” Model in Subsequent
DSMs
27

Change #9. Introduce the Potential
of the So-called “Hybrid” Model
• The Personality Disorders (PDs) essentially remain
the same in DSM-5 as in DSM-IV-TR.
• However, in Section III of DSM-5 they introduce a
hybrid (category and dimensional synthesized)
model of PDs:
Level of impairment of personality
functioning (dimensional) with ....

An evaluation of personality traits
(categorical)
28

Change #9. Introduce the Potential
of the So-called “Hybrid” Model
• Five broad domains of personality traits:
(1) Negative Affectivity
(2) Detachment
(3) Antagonism
(4) Disinhibition
(5) Psychoticism
• As a field, we are moving closer
to defining what the core elements
of psychiatric health/personality actually are.
29

Change #10. Use Biologically-based
Diagnostic Criteria
• For some disorders, DSM-5 employs objective
measures (genetic workups, neuroimaging, neurochemistry) into the
criteria sets.
• David Kupfer, M.D., the co-chair of the DSM-5
Task Force, indicated a keen interest in genetic
tests/brain scanning/biomarkers/laboratory
tests, but admitted that the field is not quite
there yet.

Social Engagement Disorder (resembles ADHD):
both are the result of social neglect or other
situations that limit a young child’s opportunity
to form selective attachments.
• For PTSD, attempted to specify “trauma” as
an actual or threatened death, serious
injury or sexual violation.
49

“Trauma- and Stressor-Related
Disorders”: Controversy
• New criteria (i.e., “Emotional reactions to
the traumatic event [fear, helplessness,
horror]” [p. 274] no longer being necessary)
may dilute what is actually deemed “traumatic.”
• Diagnosis may occur for people who have not
had direct exposure but merely learned about a
violent traumatic event suffered by a loved one.

62

Part V. Five Major Controversies
63

Allen Frances’ Saving Normal (2013)
64

Amazon Review: Jonathan Karmel
• “This book, by a well-respected psychiatrist who was very
involved in the creation of the 4th edition of the Diagnostic
and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV), argues
that a high percentage of people diagnosed with mental illness
are actually normal. He thinks this trend of diagnostic
inflation may be exacerbated and there may be diagnostic
hyperinflation with the publication of DSM-5 in May 2013.
• The book begins by attempting to do something that DSM-5
fails to do: define what is normal and what is abnormal. The
author concludes that there is no good definition of normal
and that psychology ought to simply take a utilitarian
approach: a diagnosis should exist if it is useful. What makes
it useful is if it can actually be used as a tool to help people
who are suffering.
65

Amazon Review: Jonathan Karmel
• In retrospect, the author is glad that he was conservative and
did not add many new diagnoses to DSM-IV, but he wishes he
had been more aggressive about purging diagnoses which
were not evidence-based. He faults DSM-IV for contributing
to over-diagnosis of ADHD and autism in children.
• The author provides a number of explanations for diagnostic
inflation. One is a desire for psychologists to identify
symptoms indicating that a person is going to get mental
illness, just like doctors are now wont to order tests and
prescribe drugs to prevent the onset of physical disease. The
problem is that preventative medicine is mostly a waste of
money and can be harmful for both physical and mental
illness.
66

Amazon Review: Jonathan Karmel
• The author believes the biggest culprit is Big
Pharma. As soon as the drug companies began
direct to consumer marketing, advertisements
convinced people that they had some form of mental
illness and should "ask their doctor" about various
prescription drugs.
• The author cites some very alarming statistics about
the number of people taking prescription drugs,
some with serious side effects, even though there is
no real reason to believe the people have actual
mental illness.”
67

Amazon Review: Jonathan Karmel
• Finally, people have a mistaken belief that they
should feel great all the time. People think that they
have some kind of mental illness when they are
actually just experiencing normal, bad events and/or
feelings that people typically have.
• The author is a complete believer in mental health
treatment and actually laments that there is not
enough mental health treatment for people who
truly need it. But I think the author makes a
convincing case that way too many normal people
are being diagnosed with mental illness.
68

#1. Will We Overdiagnose with the
DSM-5?
• The dimensional perspective has a risk of overpathologizing (i.e., pathologize normal behavior
and/or normalize pathologic symptoms);
usually referred to as the “reduced
threshold” problem.
• May lead to stigma/mislabeling of those who
would do better without a psychiatric diagnosis.
69

#2. Are DSM-5 Diagnoses Valid?
• Allen Frances: DSM-5 introduces new, invalid
diagnoses and contends the DSM-5 Task Force is
merely helping the drug companies.
70

#2. Are DSM-5 Diagnoses Valid?
National Institute of Mental Health
(NIMH) director Thomas Insel
announced that it would no longer use
DSM diagnoses in research projects
due to the manual’s lack of validity.
• He contends the manual should be used solely
as a dictionary so that clinicians share the
same descriptions of symptoms.
71

#2. Are DSM-5 Diagnoses Valid?
• Research indicates that 2 clinicians agree on a
diagnosis of major depression only 60 percent of
the time (Zur Institute, 2013).
72

#3. Was the Process of Development
of the Manual Flawed?
• Development was shrouded in secrecy; changes
were not empirically supported.
• Were the work groups merely flying by seat of
their pants?
• DSM-5 diagnoses are based on a consensus
about clusters of clinical symptoms, not
on any objective laboratory measure (in
medicine: symptoms rarely indicate the best
choice of treatment).
73

#4. Are the DSM-5 Diagnoses Irrelevant to
the Cause and Treatment of
Psychological Problems?
• Despite changes in the DSM-5, it remains “a
topographical symptom map” (Zur Institute,
2013): does not capture causal pathways that
give rise to and maintain illness.
74

#5. Is the DSM Experiencing an
Identity Crisis?
75

#5. Is the DSM Experiencing an
Identity Crisis?
• It is not clear if the DSM-5 is a diagnostic tool, a
treatment tool, a research tool, or some combination
of all of these: Is the DSM a good example of
Multiple Personality Disorder?

• Different groups use the DSM too loosely or too
rigidly (little pragmatic consensus) (Zur Institute,
2013).
76

How, in What Ways, for What Patients,
under What Therapeutic Conditions Does
Diagnostic Nomenclature Help or Hinder?
77

Final Words
• The therapeutic process remains the best
diagnostic tool, providing the clinician with a
view of the patient’s regressive tendencies and
relational potential.
• How psychiatric diagnosis is used between
patient and therapist is a relational event that
deserves careful consideration and processing.
78

Final Words
• Mental illness as a spectrum will ultimately
provide clinicians with greater flexibility, as the
focus will not solely be on distinct syndromes
but underlying etiological factors and associated
symptomatic features as well.
79

Final Words
• As a field, we must remain aware of our
narcissistic preference for certainty vs.
uncertainty, which often translates into our
tendency to organize the complexities of nature
prematurely or erroneously.
80

Final Words
• The clinician uses the diagnostic nomenclature
yet remains skeptical of its ultimate authority
and truth.
81

THE END!
Thanks for your attention!!

The DSM-5: Overview of Main Themes and Diagnostic Revisions

  • 1. The DSM-5: Overview of Main Themes and Diagnostic Revisions James Tobin, Ph.D. | November 2, 2013 Presented at the Symposium on DSM-5 Sponsored by OCPA and the American School of Professional Psychology/Argosy University
  • 2. 2 Abstract • DSM-5 represents the field’s most recent attempt at revising the DSM-IV-TR diagnostic nomenclature. In this presentation, I will outline the primary efforts of the DSM-5 Task Force and the major diagnostic changes that were incorporated in the new manual, with an emphasis on the disorders of adulthood.
  • 3. 3 Abstract • The most promising changes are the organization of mental illness as a spectrum, the addition of dimensionality to specifier descriptions, lifespan/development and cultural refinements, and the articulation of a new hybrid model of mental illness.
  • 4. 4 Abstract • In the context of these gains, I also will provide a summary of the major controversies surrounding the DSM-5, including misgivings about lower thresholds to qualify for numerous diagnoses and the related concern that we may now run the risk of pathologizing “normal” human functioning.

  • 8. 8 DSM-IV, -IV-TR, and -5 Publication Dates and Page Lengths • DSM-IV-TR: First issued in 1994 (968 pages). • DSM-IV-TR: Revised in 2000 (988 pages). • DSM-5:Update initiated in 1999 and finally published on May 17, 2013 (947 pages).
  • 9. 9 DSM-5: Sections of the Manual • Section I: Introduction and information on how to use the manual. • Section II: Diagnostic criteria and codes. • Section III: Emerging measures and models, conditions that require further research, a glossary, cultural concepts of distress, and names of persons involved in the manual’s development. • Appendix.
  • 10. 10 How Was the DSM-5 Developed? • APA organized groups of experts in distinct areas to assess diagnostic categories and disorders; • Came up with consensus viewpoints on symptomatic descriptors; • Field-tested new descriptors to determine revised diagnostic criteria (cluster sets and thresholds). • Presented to APA Board Trustees for sign-off.
  • 11. 11 Part II. Primary Goals of DSM-5 and 10 Major Changes
  • 12. 12 Primary Goals of DSM-5 Task Force in Creating the New Manual • Increase cultural sensitivity; • Deepen the clinician’s understanding of the client; • Increase awareness of the neurobiology underpinning mental disorders; • Appraise the role of social and contextual factors associated with psychiatric symptoms. From Zur Institute (2013)
  • 13. 13 Change #1. Make More User-Friendly • The multiaxial system has been abandoned. • Axes I, II, and III have been combined. • All clinical disorders are simply listed in order of priority (no real hierarchy of axes implied). • No more GAF (people tended to use very idiosyncratically, and did not follow the symptom severity x impairment rating codes).
  • 14. 14 Change #2. Incorporate a Spectrum Perspective
  • 15. 15 Change #2. Incorporate a Spectrum Perspective • Based on two emerging realizations in the field (Zur Institute, 2013): (1) There is not much evidence that disorders are actually categorically distinct from one another (both within and across diagnostic categories). (2) The distinction between “normal” and “abnormal” behavior is, ultimately, arbitrary.
  • 16. 16 Change #2. Incorporate a Spectrum Perspective • Example: OCD is removed from the “Anxiety Disorders” category (DSM-IV-TR) and repositioned in a new category called “Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders” (DSM-5). • The beam of light going into the prism (underlying core factor of anxiety) splits into several separate but related diagnostic categories.
  • 17. 17 Change #2. Incorporate a Spectrum Perspective • The 20 newly-refined diagnostic categories of mental disorders depict updated groupings of all disorders, with each grouping sharing similar characteristics. • Has resulted in a fair amount of reshuffling of the deck, e.g., “Neurodevelopmental Disorders” (includes Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, and other disorders reflecting abnormal brain development).
  • 18. 18 Change #3. Incorporate Dimensionality
  • 19. 19 Change #3. Incorporate Dimensionality • Diagnostic thresholds (categorical/qualitative) are now supplemented by the degree to which the diagnosis is present (dimensional/quantitative). • Severity ratings (from minimal to more extreme levels): typically, symptom counts.
  • 20. 20 Change #4. Reflect a Developmental Perspective • (1) Chapter structure of DSM-5 follows a neurodevelopmental life span approach (congruent with the system used by the ICD [World Health Organization]): Early development: Neurodevelopmental Disorders; Schizophrenia Spectrum and Other Psychotic Disorders; etc. Adolescence/early adulthood: Depressive Disorders; Anxiety Disorders; etc. Later life: Neurocognitive Disorders.
  • 21. 21 Change #4. Reflect a Developmental Perspective (2) For specific disorders, variations of symptom presentations across the lifespan are described.
  • 22. 22 Change #5. Increase the Emphasis on Culture and Gender • Cultural information and gender differences are included wherever relevant. • Previous cultural formulation replaced with the Cultural Formulation Interview (CFI; pp. 750-757), a structured clinical interview that assesses the client’s subjective view of cultural factors re: the presentation of symptoms (effort is to diminish the clinician’s own cultural biases).
  • 23. 23 Change #6. Enhance Descriptive Information for Diagnoses • Many specifiers provided. • Severity ratings provided. • Not Otherwise Specified (NOS) deleted, but here is what they came up with instead: if not meet full criteria for the disorder use “Other Specified” (need to give a reason) or “Unspecified Disorder” (don’t need to give a reason).
  • 24. 24 Change #7. Match the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) Codes • DSM-5 includes equivalent ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes. • The U.S. will adopt the ICD-10 in October, 2014; however, by that time, most of the world will already be using ICD-11.
  • 25. 25 Change #8. Reinvent DSM To Be a “Living” Document • DSM-5 (Arabic numeral) vs. DSM-IV-TR (Roman numeral). • More readily incorporate advances generated by new research, neuroscience, and investigations re: the genetics of psychiatric illness.
  • 26. 26 Change #9. Introduce the Potential of the So-called “Hybrid” Model in Subsequent DSMs
  • 27. 27 Change #9. Introduce the Potential of the So-called “Hybrid” Model • The Personality Disorders (PDs) essentially remain the same in DSM-5 as in DSM-IV-TR. • However, in Section III of DSM-5 they introduce a hybrid (category and dimensional synthesized) model of PDs: Level of impairment of personality functioning (dimensional) with .... An evaluation of personality traits (categorical)
  • 28. 28 Change #9. Introduce the Potential of the So-called “Hybrid” Model • Five broad domains of personality traits: (1) Negative Affectivity (2) Detachment (3) Antagonism (4) Disinhibition (5) Psychoticism • As a field, we are moving closer to defining what the core elements of psychiatric health/personality actually are.
  • 29. 29 Change #10. Use Biologically-based Diagnostic Criteria • For some disorders, DSM-5 employs objective measures (genetic workups, neuroimaging, neurochemistry) into the criteria sets. • David Kupfer, M.D., the co-chair of the DSM-5 Task Force, indicated a keen interest in genetic tests/brain scanning/biomarkers/laboratory tests, but admitted that the field is not quite there yet.

  • 62. 62 Part V. Five Major Controversies
  • 63. 63 Allen Frances’ Saving Normal (2013)
  • 64. 64 Amazon Review: Jonathan Karmel • “This book, by a well-respected psychiatrist who was very involved in the creation of the 4th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV), argues that a high percentage of people diagnosed with mental illness are actually normal. He thinks this trend of diagnostic inflation may be exacerbated and there may be diagnostic hyperinflation with the publication of DSM-5 in May 2013. • The book begins by attempting to do something that DSM-5 fails to do: define what is normal and what is abnormal. The author concludes that there is no good definition of normal and that psychology ought to simply take a utilitarian approach: a diagnosis should exist if it is useful. What makes it useful is if it can actually be used as a tool to help people who are suffering.
  • 65. 65 Amazon Review: Jonathan Karmel • In retrospect, the author is glad that he was conservative and did not add many new diagnoses to DSM-IV, but he wishes he had been more aggressive about purging diagnoses which were not evidence-based. He faults DSM-IV for contributing to over-diagnosis of ADHD and autism in children. • The author provides a number of explanations for diagnostic inflation. One is a desire for psychologists to identify symptoms indicating that a person is going to get mental illness, just like doctors are now wont to order tests and prescribe drugs to prevent the onset of physical disease. The problem is that preventative medicine is mostly a waste of money and can be harmful for both physical and mental illness.
  • 66. 66 Amazon Review: Jonathan Karmel • The author believes the biggest culprit is Big Pharma. As soon as the drug companies began direct to consumer marketing, advertisements convinced people that they had some form of mental illness and should "ask their doctor" about various prescription drugs. • The author cites some very alarming statistics about the number of people taking prescription drugs, some with serious side effects, even though there is no real reason to believe the people have actual mental illness.”
  • 67. 67 Amazon Review: Jonathan Karmel • Finally, people have a mistaken belief that they should feel great all the time. People think that they have some kind of mental illness when they are actually just experiencing normal, bad events and/or feelings that people typically have. • The author is a complete believer in mental health treatment and actually laments that there is not enough mental health treatment for people who truly need it. But I think the author makes a convincing case that way too many normal people are being diagnosed with mental illness.
  • 68. 68 #1. Will We Overdiagnose with the DSM-5? • The dimensional perspective has a risk of overpathologizing (i.e., pathologize normal behavior and/or normalize pathologic symptoms); usually referred to as the “reduced threshold” problem. • May lead to stigma/mislabeling of those who would do better without a psychiatric diagnosis.
  • 69. 69 #2. Are DSM-5 Diagnoses Valid? • Allen Frances: DSM-5 introduces new, invalid diagnoses and contends the DSM-5 Task Force is merely helping the drug companies.
  • 70. 70 #2. Are DSM-5 Diagnoses Valid? National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) director Thomas Insel announced that it would no longer use DSM diagnoses in research projects due to the manual’s lack of validity. • He contends the manual should be used solely as a dictionary so that clinicians share the same descriptions of symptoms.
  • 71. 71 #2. Are DSM-5 Diagnoses Valid? • Research indicates that 2 clinicians agree on a diagnosis of major depression only 60 percent of the time (Zur Institute, 2013).
  • 72. 72 #3. Was the Process of Development of the Manual Flawed? • Development was shrouded in secrecy; changes were not empirically supported. • Were the work groups merely flying by seat of their pants? • DSM-5 diagnoses are based on a consensus about clusters of clinical symptoms, not on any objective laboratory measure (in medicine: symptoms rarely indicate the best choice of treatment).
  • 73. 73 #4. Are the DSM-5 Diagnoses Irrelevant to the Cause and Treatment of Psychological Problems? • Despite changes in the DSM-5, it remains “a topographical symptom map” (Zur Institute, 2013): does not capture causal pathways that give rise to and maintain illness.
  • 74. 74 #5. Is the DSM Experiencing an Identity Crisis?
  • 75. 75 #5. Is the DSM Experiencing an Identity Crisis? • It is not clear if the DSM-5 is a diagnostic tool, a treatment tool, a research tool, or some combination of all of these: Is the DSM a good example of Multiple Personality Disorder? • Different groups use the DSM too loosely or too rigidly (little pragmatic consensus) (Zur Institute, 2013).
  • 76. 76 How, in What Ways, for What Patients, under What Therapeutic Conditions Does Diagnostic Nomenclature Help or Hinder?
  • 77. 77 Final Words • The therapeutic process remains the best diagnostic tool, providing the clinician with a view of the patient’s regressive tendencies and relational potential. • How psychiatric diagnosis is used between patient and therapist is a relational event that deserves careful consideration and processing.
  • 78. 78 Final Words • Mental illness as a spectrum will ultimately provide clinicians with greater flexibility, as the focus will not solely be on distinct syndromes but underlying etiological factors and associated symptomatic features as well.
  • 79. 79 Final Words • As a field, we must remain aware of our narcissistic preference for certainty vs. uncertainty, which often translates into our tendency to organize the complexities of nature prematurely or erroneously.
  • 80. 80 Final Words • The clinician uses the diagnostic nomenclature yet remains skeptical of its ultimate authority and truth.
  • 81. 81 THE END! Thanks for your attention!!
