Revue de presse
The quality of writing and argument is uniformly excellent and the style is engaging. (BJPsych, Jan 2013)
This book addresses many fundamental issues regarding psychiatry and psychiatric diagnoses as well as the future of psychiatry. It is important reading for anyone in the field. (Doody's Reviews)
This book sets out to offer a comprehensive analysis of the concepts that we use to validate our diagnostic categories and succeeds admirably in this aim. It is important that clinicians are aware of the strengths and weaknesses of our diagnostic concepts. This book should be essential reading for all psychiatrists. (The British Journal of Psychiatry, Jan 2013)

Présentation de l'éditeur
Psychiatric and psychological practice and research is critically dependent on diagnosis. Yet the nature of psychiatric diagnosis and the rules by which disorders should be created and organized have been highly controversial for over 100 years. Unlike simple medical disorders (like infectious diseases), psychiatric disorders cannot be traced to one simple etiologic agent.
The last two generations have seen major conceptual shifts in the approach to diagnosis with the rise of operationalized criteria and an emphasis on a descriptive rather than etiological approach to diagnosis. The interest in psychiatric diagnoses is particularly heightened now because both of the major psychiatric classifications in the world - DSM and ICD - are now undergoing major revisions. What makes psychiatric nosology so interesting is that it sits at the intersection of philosophy,
empirical psychiatric/psychological research, measurement theory, historical tradition and policy. This makes the field fertile for a conceptual analysis.
This book brings together established experts in the wide range of disciplines that have an interest in psychiatric nosology. The contributors include philosophers, psychologists, psychiatrists, historians and representatives of the efforts of DSM-III, DSM-IV and DSM-V. Some of the questions addressed include i) what is the nature of psychiatric illness? Can it be clearly defined and if so how? ii) What is the impact of facts versus values in psychiatric classification? iii) How have concepts
of psychiatric diagnosis changed over time? iv) How can we best conceptualize the central idea of diagnostic validity? And v) Can psychiatric classification be a cumulative enterprise seeking improvements at each iteration of the diagnostic manual? Each individual chapter is introduced by the editors
and is followed by a commentary, resulting in a dynamic discussion about the nature of psychiatric disorders.
This book will be valuable for psychiatrists, psychologists and other mental health trainees and professionals with an interest in the questions and problems of psychiatric diagnosis, as well as philosophers and philosophy students interested in the problems posed by psychiatry, particularly those working in the philosophy of science.

Keep in mind that a diagnosis of a so-called mental illness is not based on medical science. Mental illnesses, such as depression, don't cause suffering. Depression is caused by life circumstances. So-called mental illnesses are simply labels attached to a collection of symptoms. Those symptoms are the result, not the cause, of suffering.There has been no empirical or biological evidence supporting a biological cause of any of the so-called mental illnesses. This means that diagnosing mental illnesses according to theoretical chemical imbalances or genetic dispositions is a sham. It's not medical. The DSM is based on the wishful thinking of psychiatry -- which is rapidly fading as a legitimate medical discipline. This is because there is no empirical evidence supporting the biological theory of mental illness on which psychiatry is based. So-called mental illnesses are socialogical not medical. Once this is accepted they make a lot more sense.Par Dr. Peter B. Raabe
