■ DSM-I
was
first published by the
American Psychiatric Association (APA) in 1952 and reflected a
psychobiological point of view.
■ DSM-II
(1968)
did not reflect a particular
point of view. Many professionals criticized both DSM-I
and
DSM-II
for
being unscientific and for encouraging
negative labeling.
■ DSM-III
(1980)
claimed to be unbiased and more scientific. Many of the earlier problems still
persisted, but they were overshadowed by an increasing demand for use of DSM-III
diagnoses
to to qualify for reimbursement from private insurance companies or from
government programs. DSM-III
is
often referred to as the first edition that
utilized a categorical approach and in previous research studies was often
considered the model for comparison.
■ DSM-III-R
(1987)
utilized data from field trials that the
developers claimed validated the system on scientific grounds.
Nevertheless, serious questions were raised about its diagnostic reliability, possible misuse, potential for misdiagnosis, and ethical considerations.
■ DSM-IV
(1994)
sought to dispel earlier criticisms of the DSM. It included
additional cultural information, diagnostic tests, and lab findings and was based
on 500 clinical field trials.
■ DSM-IV-TR
(2000)
did not change the diagnostic codes or criteria from the DSM-IV;
however,
it supplemented the diagnostic categories with additional information based on
research studies and field trials completed
in each area.
■ DSM-5
(2013)
presented major changes in diagnostic criteria and highlighted a shift toward a
dimensional approach over the previous categorical one
