History of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM)

1840 Census had one category - idiocy/insanity

1880 Seven categories - mania, melancholia, monomania, paresis, dementia, dipsomania, and epilepsy

Post WWII, VA nomenclature included 10 psychoses, 9 neuroses, and 7 disorders of character, behavior, and intelligence

The American Psychiatric Association published Diagnostic andStatistical Manual: Mental Disorders (DSM-I) in 1952 reflecting apsychological view and included the term reaction.

DSM-II was published in 1968 and was very similar to DSM-I, buteliminated the concept of reaction. Heavily criticized for lack ofdiagnostic reliability due to three or four sentence descriptions ofDisorders

2

History of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM)

Work began in 1974 that resulted in the publication of DSM-III in 1980. Major advances included the use of explicit diagnostic criteria, a multi-axial system, and a descriptive approach that was neutral to theories or etiology (eliminated terminology of neurosis and psychosis). The number of diagnoses in “child” section increased fourfold.

Inconsistencies and unclear criteria resulted in a revision of DSM-III (DSM-III-R) being published in 1987.

DSM-IV was published in 1994 containing 340 conditions, 120 more than contained in DSM-III-R. DSM-IV-TR published in 2001updates current research. Attempted to be more consistent with ICD-10.

Criticisms included: “artificial constructs,” comorbid conditions blur boundaries, changes to criteria created “false epidemics,” dimensional vs. dichotomous approach would allow for age and gender variations.

Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Primary Care (DSM-PC) 2005 views symptoms in a developmental context, on a continuum from normal to mental disorders, and reflects stressful environmental situations

History of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual Fifth Edition (DSM-5)

Work began on DSM5 in 2000 under a grant from NIMHSeries of meetings with WHO (ICD)2006 Am Psychiatric announced Drs. Kupfer and Reiger as chair and vice chair2007 Work Groups appointed and began meetingFebruary 2010 draft was published for commentMay 2010 Field Trials of proposed criteriaAdditional comment period Spring 2012Final Drafts to printer December 2012Publication date of May 18, 2013

Broad ControversiesAllen Frances (Chair of DSM-IV) resigned due to lack of scientific integrity

Assumption that all disorders stem from biological brain and neurological disorders (“medicalization” of mental disorders)

70% of committee members have economic ties to pharmaceutical industry

Critics fear that many ordinary reactions to life (grief, anger, angst) will be labeled as illnesses and people will be prescribed unnecessary medications. “One of the raps against psychiatry is that you and I are the only two people in the US without a psychiatric diagnosis” Chicago Tribune Interview12/27/08 with David Kupper, MD

International members of the personality disorders work group resigned in protest over lack of scientific integrity

May, 2013 NIMH withdraws support from DSM5 and advocates a biological approach based on their own system, RDoC (Research Domain Criteria) Negative Valence Systems, Positive Valence Systems, Cognitive Systems, Systems for Social Processes, Arousal/Modulatory Systems.

DSM5 PhilosophyTraditional approaches look at diagnosis of disorders from a

Categorical Model or Dimensional Model

Categorical Model geared toward separating phenomena(observed behavior) into discrete categories.

DSM-II, IV, and IV-TRPresence or absenceRelatively separate phenomena

Dimensional Models view behavior on a continuumAdaptive to dysfunctionalAbsent to severeAchenbach: Internalizing vs. Externalizing

4

DSM-5 PhilosophyDisorders were distributed along an internalizing/externalizing continuum based on genetic markers and underlying mechanismsShift towards a more dimensional approach to diagnosis than categorical. Some authors have criticized this as a “hybrid” approachDisorders were distributed on developmental and lifespan considerationsCultural Issues were given special attention under the construct of “culture bound syndromes” Both DSM and WHO attempt to separate mental disorder from Disability (impairment in social, occupational, and relational functioning)Cautionary statements about using DSM in Forensics

DSM5 and ICD-10 and 11Congress and Health and Human Services have continued to delay the implementation of ICD -10 for insurance. (October 1, 2014)

ICD-11 is due to be released by WHO in 2015

Some question the wisdom of switching twice in a short time period

Agreement between ICD Committee and DSM for consistency was a priority for DSM Work Groups

Some ICD disorders are not in DSM and vice versa

Results in some situations where two DSM Disorders have same number

Under HIPAA, insurance companies are only required to accept ICD

May require conversion of DSM codes to ICD codes

Crosswalk to convert DSM to ICD is included as Appendix in DSM5

DSM5 contains both ICD-9(DSM-TR-IV) and ICD-10 codes in parenthesis

The World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHO-DAS 2.0) is included in Section III and is the same as used for medical disability.

5

Cross-Cutting Dimensional Assessment in DSM-5

In addition to categorical diagnoses, dimensional assessments are proposedThe goal is to provide additional information for the purpose of assessment, treatment planning, and treatment evaluationA full range of dimensional assessments (from paper-based self report to computerized assessment) were considered and field tested (DSM-5 trials)Each diagnosis may comment on “attitude considerations.” Ego Syntonic (absent insight) vs. Ego Dystonic (good insight)May be specific to disorders or more globalSeverity scales are proposed for most disorders. An initial evaluation is used to establish a base-lineCross-Cutting – crosses the boundaries of single disorders

Cross-Cutting Dimensional Assessment in DSM-5

Criteria for Assessment SystemUseful in clinical practiceAre brief, simple to read, and simple to evaluateCan be completed by a patient or informant, rather than clinicianProvide coverage suitable for most patients in most clinical settingsUse ratings on a 5-point scale, with 0 indicating the absence of the problemDSM-5 Self-Rated Level 1 Cross Cutting Symptom Measure-Adult and Parent/Guardian-Rated DSM-5 Level 1Cross Cutting Symptom Measure-Child Age 6-17 are contained in Section III p.738

Clinically significant items on Level 1 Assessment (rating above 2) trigger a Level 2 Assessment (Disorder Specific) Level II Assessment tools can be found at www.psychiatry.org/dsm5

Level I Assessment

Cultural Considerations in the DSM-5

Cultural Definition of the Problem: the presenting issues that led to the current illness episode, cast within the patient’s worldview. In this section, the patient describes the problem and focuses on its most troubling aspects.

Cultural Perceptions of Cause, Context, and Support: the patient’s explanations for the circumstances of illness, including the cause of the problem. The patient also clarifies factors that improve or worsen the problem, with particular attention to the role of family, friends, and cultural background.

Cultural Factors Affecting Self Coping & Past Help Seeking: the strategies employed by the patient to improve the situation, including those that have been most and least helpful. The patient also identifies past barriers to care.

Current Help Seeking: the patient’s perception of the relationship with the clinician, current potential treatment barriers, and preferences for care. In this section, the patient specifies how the clinician may facilitate current treatment and what may interfere with the clinical relationship.

Module II: Major Differences Between

DSM-IV-TR and DSM5

“Cliff Notes” Version

Differences Between DSM-IVand DSM5 (Cliff Notes Version)

General ChangesNo Longer Numeric System, but Alphanumeric to be consistent with ICD-10 e.g. OCD was 300.3 now will be (F42)Removal of the Multiaxial System

Only one axis with notations and descriptorsAxis I, II, and III combined in a descriptive fashion. Medical issues should continue to be listed as part of diagnosis i.e. 296.21 (F32.0) Major Depressive Disorder, Single Episode, Severe, HIV positive, Z59.5 Extreme PovertyDimensional Assessments emphasize severity and course of a category of disordersAxis IV decision to use ICD-9 and ICD-10 V Codes and Z Codes Axis V as a measure of functioning is covered by using Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS) found in Section III

9


Coding and Reporting ProceduresSubtypes and specifiers (coded in the 4th, 5th, or 6th

digit) increase specificity are reflected in “specify whether” (subtype) and “specify” or “specify if” (specifier)NOS (Not Otherwise Specified) is eliminated and replaced by two terms: Other Specified Disorder and Unspecified DisorderOther Specified Disorder allows communicating the specific reason that it does not meet criteria: “Other Specified Depressive Disorder, insufficient symptoms and less than two weeks.”Unspecified Depressive DisorderDSM-5 allows multiple diagnoses to be assigned, if both criteria are metPrincipal Diagnosis is the focus of treatment and listed first (or designated)Provisional Diagnosis can be used when there is an assumption that full criteria will eventually be met


Specific DisordersWhile most people focus on diagnostic criteria, the DSM5 has for each

disorder a compilation of the current thinking on prevalence, development and course, risk and prognostic factors, culture-related diagnostic issues, gender-related diagnostic issues, suicide risks, functional consequences, differential diagnoses, and comorbidity.

Autism Spectrum DisordersAutistic Disorder, Asperger’s Disorder, Childhood Disintegrative Disorder, and Pervasive Developmental Disorder combined into a new diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder with specifiers and severity

Binge Eating Disorder Moved from further study to classification to Disorder status

Conduct Disorder with Limited Prosocial Emotions Specifier guilt, empathy, performance, and affect

10


Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (once called TDD Temper Dysregulation Disorder)

To address concerns about over-diagnosis of bipolar disorder in children

Excoriation (skin-picking) DisorderNew to DSM and in Obsessive-Compulsive Chapter

Hoarding DisorderNew - Supported by extensive research

Pedophilic DisorderSimply name change from Pedophilia

Disinhibited Social Engagement DisorderRADS broken down into two disorders


Personality DisordersMaintains a categorical model and criteria for the 10 personality disorders (abandoned the proposed five trait theory classification)New trait methodology for assessment is included in Section III (Further Study)

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)Four distinct diagnostic clusters re-experiencing, avoidance, cognitions and mood, and alterations in arousal and reactivityDevelopmentally sensitive (Preschool Criteria <6) and childhood examples

Specific Learning DisorderBroadens criteria and reduces to one disorder

Premenstrual Dysphoric DisorderAdopted after extensive research

11


Bereavement ExclusionRemoves the two month grief criteriaViews bereavement as a severe psychosocial stressor precipitating major depressive episode

Substance Use DisorderCombines abuse and dependence categoriesRequires greater number of symptoms

Gambling Disorder viewed as addiction“Did Not Make The Cut”

For Further Study Attenuated Psychosis, Internet Use/Gaming Disorder, Non-suicidal Self Injury, Suicidal Behavior Disorder Not Accepted for DSM Anxious Depression, Hypersexual Disorder, Parental Alienation Syndrome, Sensory Processing Disorder

Highlights of Changes DSM-IV-TR and DSM -5

Chapter 1. Neurodevelopmental Disorders

Intellectual DisabilityCommunication DisordersAutism Spectrum DisorderAttention Deficit Hyperactivity DisorderSpecific Learning DisorderMotor Disorders

13


Intellectual Disability (Intellectual Developmental Disorder)

Removal of the terminology of mental retardationConsistent with advocacy groups and PL 111-256Severity is based on adaptive functioning and IQRequires deficits in both cognitive, social and adaptive behaviors (comprehensive assessment)Intellectual Developmental Disorder included in parenthesis to prepare for ICD-11Does not include a specific IQ score in criteria but text reflects IQ of 2sd below, or about 70The new criteria includes severity measures (mild, moderate, severe, and profound intellectual disability)


Communication DisordersRestructured to include three disorders with appropriate subtypesLanguage Disorders

Expressive Speech DisorderExpressive-receptive Disorder

Speech Disorder Speech Sound Disorder (Phonological Disorder)Motor Speech DisorderChildhood-Onset Fluency Disorder (Stuttering)Voice DisorderResonance Disorder

14


NEW Social (Pragmatic) Communication Disorder

Difficulties in narrative, expository and conversational discourse.Difficulties using verbal and nonverbal communication for social purposes, leading to social, occupational, or academic problemsNot explained by low cognitive abilityUnder DSM-IV was often diagnosed as PDD(NOS)No restricted, repetitive behaviorsASD must be ruled out to diagnose SCD


Autism Spectrum DisorderReflects a scientific consensus, but enormous controversyCombines four disorders as a single disorder on a continuum with levels of symptom severity (Autism, Asperger’s Disorder, Childhood Disintegrative Disorder, and Pervasive Developmental Disorder NOS)Both deficits in social communication and interaction and restrictive repetitive behaviors, interests, and activitiesBoth are required for a diagnosis of ASD, Social Communication Disorder is diagnosed if no RB’s are presentAllows for a number of specifiers (intellectual, genetic/medical, acquired, etc.)Three Levels of Severity (requiring support, requiring substantial support, requiring very substantial support)Symptoms present in “early developmental period” <24 months

15


Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity DisorderSame 18 symptoms are used (9 Inattention and 9 Hyperactivity/Impulsivity), but examples added across the life spanCross-situational requirement strengthened to include “several” symptoms in each settingOnset criteria has been increased to age 12Subtypes are replaced with presentationsComorbid diagnosis with Autism Spectrum is allowedSymptom threshold is different for older adolescents and adults (5 vs. 6)Placed in neurodevelopmental categorySubtypes remained the same despite earlier draftsCombined Presentation: Both Criteria 1 & 2 are met for six monthsPredominately Hyperactive/Impulsive Presentation: Criteria 2 is met,

and Criteria 1 is not met for past six monthsPredominately Inattentive Presentation: Criteria 1 is met, but Criteria 2 is

not met and 3 or more symptoms from 2 have been present for six months

Severity specifiers: mild, moderate, severe


Specific Learning DisorderCombines three former diagnoses into one category (broadening the category)Specifiers identify type of learning disorderText acknowledges the international diagnoses of dyslexia and dyscalculiaOne of six symptoms for six monthsThe learning difficulties begin in school-age period, but may not manifest until later

Motor Disorders Slight wording changes for existing diagnoses of Developmental Coordination Disorder, Stereotypic Movement Disorder, Tourette’s Disorder, Persistent Vocal or Motor Tic Disorder, and Provisional Tic Disorder

16

Highlights of Changes DSM-IV-TR and DSM -5Chapter 2. Schizophrenia Spectrum and

Other Psychotic DisordersoSchizophreniao Two criterion A symptoms are required rather than

one: hallucinations, delusions, negative symptoms (lack of affect, will, speech), and disorganized speech

o Additional requirement of at least one symptom of delusions, hallucinations, and disorganized speech

o Subtypes (paranoid, disorganized, catatonic, undifferentiated, and residual) are eliminated and instead a dimensional approach to severity (First Episode, Multiple Episodes, Continuous

Highlights of Changes DSM-IV-TR and DSM -5oSchizoaffective DisorderoPrimary Change is that major mood episode is

present for majority of disorder’s total durationoBased on conceptual and psychometric dataoBoth psychotic and mood symptoms are

longitudinal over course of disorder

17

Highlights of Changes DSM-IV-TR and DSM -5o Delusional DisorderoNo longer require that delusions are non-bizarre.

Can be covered by specifier: With Bizarre Content

oErotomanic, grandiose, persecutory, somatic subtypes

oSymptoms cannot be better explained by Obsessive-Compulsive or Body Dysmorphic Disorder

oNo longer separates shared delusional (Folie a Deux)


Chapter 3:Bipolar and Related DisordersoBipolar I and IIo Criterion A emphasizes a change in activity and

energy as well as moodo The requirement that full criteria for both mania

and depressed mood be fully met is removed by a new specifier, “with mixed features.” Do not have to meet full criteria for manic episode or depressive episode

o A specifier for anxious distress is intended to cover those with anxiety symptoms, not a part of bipolar criteria

18

Highlights of Changes DSM-IV-TR and DSM -5Chapter 4. Depressive DisordersoMajor Depressive Disorder (wording

changes)oNew – Disruptive Mood Dysregulation

DisorderoNew – Premenstrual Dysphoric

DisorderoCombined – Dysthymia and Major

Depressive Disorder, Chronic into Persistent Depressive Disorder


Major Depressive Disordero No major Changes in symptoms or durationo Addition of a “with mixed features” with the presence of at least

three manic/hypomanic symptoms, but has never reached manic or hypomanic state.

o Specifier “with anxious distress” - poorer prognosis

oRemoval of Bereavement Exclusiono Major Controversy – Pathologization of Normal Human Experience1. Implication that bereavement lasts only two months – data

implies 1 to 2 years2. A severe stressor that can precipitate or complicate a Major

Depressive Episode3. Bereavement-related depression occurs more frequently in

individuals with personal or family history of Major Depression4. Symptoms associated with bereavement respond to the same

psychosocial and medication treatments as Major Depression5. Complex Bereavement Disorder Criteria in Section III

19


oDisruptive Mood Dysregulation Disordero Designed to address the concerns about over diagnosis of bipolar

disorder in children. Originally Temper Dysphoria Disorder (TDD)o Up to age 18, persistent irritability, non-episodic behavioral

dyscontrolo Extreme irritability without the mood changes that dominate the

clinical picture of Bipolaro Episodes of behavioral dyscontrol are not necessarily maniao Brain imaging can distinguish BPD from DMDD (amygdala)o Most of the children who meet criteria for Disruptive Mood

Dysregulation Disorder will also meet criteria for Oppositional Defiant Disorder, since the two disorders have overlapping symptoms. Diagnosis of Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder will supersede and be utilized


oPremenstrual Dysphoric Disordero Graduated from the Further Study Category of DSM-IV-

TRo A history of depressed mood, anxiety, affective lability,

irritability, or loss of interest during the last week of the luteal phase (post ovulation)

o Symptoms include lethargy, appetite change, sleep difficulties, overwhelmed and out of control, weight gain, and bloating

o Approximately 2% of women will meet criteriao Concerns about the “pathologization” of womeno Fears of implication that women are not capable of

performing functions during premenstrual cycle

20


Persistent Depressive Disorder NEWCombines Dysthymia and Major Depressive Disorder, ChronicChronicity is a significant factor in treatment outcomeFirst step to conceiving mood disorders as a spectrum of severity and chronicity (Dimensional Model) rather than arbitrary categories (cleaving meatloaf)

Highlights of Changes DSM-IV-TR and DSM -5Chapter 5. Anxiety Disorders

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, and Acute Stress Disorder are no longer considered anxiety disorders.They are moved to their own chaptersPanic Attacks

Removal of the requirement that recognition that anxiety is excessive Different types (cued and uncued) are now replaced by “expected” and “unexpected.”Panic Attacks can also be listed as a specifier for all DSM5 Disorders

21


• Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia• Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia are uncoupled in

DSM5• Three categories are reduced to two: 1) Panic Disorder

and 2) Agoraphobia• Co-occurrence of Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia

is coded with two diagnoses• Changed to require two or more agoraphobic

situations. Robustness to distinguish agoraphobia vs. specific phobias

• Duration of six months or more


Specific PhobiaEssentially the same criteria, but duration of recognition has time criteriaDuration criteria (6 months) also applies to all agesTypes are now referred to as specifiers (animal, environmental, blood/injection, situational)

Social Anxiety DisorderEssentially the same criteria, but duration of recognition has time criteriaDuration criteria (6 months)also applies to all agesGeneralized specifier deleted and replaced by “performance only.”

22


Separation Anxiety DisorderMoved from Chapter on Infancy, Childhood, and Adolescence to AnxietyCriteria are essentially unchanged, but wording is modified to reflect adults who also have disorderOnset prior to age 18 is removedDuration criteria (6 months) added for adults to prevent over-diagnosis of transient fears

Selective MutismEssentially unchanged, but moved from Chapter on Infancy, Childhood, and Adolescence to Anxiety

Highlights of Changes DSM-IV-TR and DSM -5Chapter 6. Obsessive-Compulsive and

Related Disorders (New Chapter)NEW Disorders include Hoarding Disorder, Excoriation (skin picking) Disorder, Substance/medication-induced Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Due to a Medical ConditionTrichotillomania moved to this Chapter

23


Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders

Specifiers for level of insight have been refined to distinguish insight. “absent” (feel compelled), “good” (probably will happen) “delusional” convincedImprove differential diagnosis of obsessive-compulsive versus a schizophrenia spectrum“Tic Related” specifier identifies a high co-morbidity factor at work.

Body Dysmorphic DisorderMoved from Somatoform ChapterRespond better to SSRI’s than antipsychoticsShould not be coded as a Delusional Disorder, but with specifiers “with muscle dysmorphia” and “absent insight/delusional beliefs” added


Hoarding DisorderNew Diagnosis - In the past most were diagnosed OCD, but most do not exhibit OCD or respond to medicationHoarding may be a symptom of OCD, but data indicate that hoarding can be a separate dynamicPersistent difficulty discarding or parting with possessionsDistorted need to save items and extreme distress associated with discarding themQuantity of items sets them apartNot particularly distressed by the behavior, others areIndications of a unique neurological correlate different from OCD (PET Scans)Public health and safety issuesLevel of Insight Specifier

24

Highlights of Changes DSM-IV-TR and DSM -5oTrichotillomania (Hair-Pulling Disorder)oEssentially same criteria as DSM-IV, but moved to a

new section to emphasize tension-release dynamic

oExcoriation (Skin-Picking) DisorderoNew Category with substantial evidence baseoMust have been repeated attempts to decrease or

stop pickingoEstimated that 2-4 percent of general population

oSubstance/Medication-Induced Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (formerly Anxiety disorders due to a General Medical Condition, with obsessive-compulsive symptoms)


Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Due to Another Medical Condition (formerly Substance-induced Anxiety Disorder, with obsessive-compulsive symptoms)Other Specified and Unspecified Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders

Old Anxiety Disorder NOSBody focused repetitive behavior (other than hair pulling or skin-picking) e.g. nail-biting, lip bitingObsessional jealousy (non-delusional preoccupation with partner’s fidelity)

25

Highlights of Changes DSM-IV-TR and DSM -5Chapter 7. Trauma and Stressor

Related Disorders – NEW Chapter Brings together anxiety disorders that are preceded

by a distressing or traumatic event

Acute Stress DisorderCriterion A requires being explicit as to whether trauma were experienced directly, witnessed, or indirectly experiencedEliminates the subjective reaction to event (first resp)Must exhibit 9 of 14 symptoms (3/4)Categorizes symptoms as intrusion, negative mood, dissociation, avoidance, and arousal


Adjustment DisorderIncluded in Trauma and Stressor ChapterRe-conceptualized from a clinically significant distress that does not meet criteria for another disorder to a stress response to a distressing eventSubtypes have been retained unchanged

26


Posttraumatic Stress DisorderSignificant changes and re-conceptualizationCriterion A requires being explicit as to whether trauma were experienced directly, witnessed, or indirectly experiencedClearer line as to what constitutes traumatic eventsCriterion A2 subjective reaction has been eliminated (fear, helplessness, horror) Military, First Responders may have no subjective distressRequires that a disturbance continues for one monthand eliminates the distinction between acute and chronic stages


Posttraumatic Stress DisorderThree major symptom clusters have been expanded to four: re-experiencing, avoidance, persistence negative alterations in cognitions and mood, and alterations in arousal and reactivity

Re-experiencing includes spontaneous memories, recurrent dreams, flashbacks, and intense distressAvoidance refers to distressing memories, thoughts, feelings, or external remindersNegative Cognition and Mood reflects a myriad of feelings, including: self-blame, estrangement, diminished interests, and inability to rememberArousal is marked by aggressive, reckless/self-destructive behaviors, sleep disturbances, and hyper vigilance. Fight/Flight,

27


Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (continued)PTSD Preschool Differences

Eliminates the criteria for repeated or extreme exposureProvides example of ways of re-enactmentMay or may not display same negative alterations in cognitions and emotions (fear, guilt, sadness, shame or confusion) but are manifested behaviorally (social withdrawal, constriction of play, expression of positive emotions)Marked physiological reactions to reminders of the eventAvoidance is to concrete stimuli and not memories

PTSD Dissociative SubtypeDepersonalization or Derealization


Reactive Attachment DisorderDSM-IV had two subtypes: Inhibited and Disinhibited. Now two distinct disorders

Reactive Attachment DisorderBoth are the result of neglect (pathogenic care), but differRAD more closely resembles an internalizing disorder, a lack of or incomplete attachment to caregivers.

Disinhibited Social Engagement DisorderDSED more closely resembles ADHD, can form superficial attachments but lack control or boundariesNot simply impulsivity (ADHD) but social unawarenessCourse of disorders and response to intervention are different

28

Highlights of Changes DSM-IV-TR and DSM -5Chapter 8. Dissociative Disorders

Depersonalization DisorderNow also includes derealization and name has been changed to Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder

Dissociative FugueEliminated as a Disorder and now is a specifier for Dissociative Amnesia

Dissociative Identity DisorderCultural pathological possession and neurological symptoms coveredTransitions in identity may be observable or self-reportedRecall gaps may be for everyday events and not just trauma

Highlights of Changes DSM-IV-TR and DSM -5Chapter 9. Somatic Symptom and

Related Disorders (formerly Somatoform Disorders)

Overlap and lack of clarity was particularly problematic for primary care settingsEmphasis in holistic care and removes mind-body separationCategories are combined and eliminated, including: Somatization Disorder, Hypochondriasis, Pain Disorder, and Undifferentiated Somatoform Disorder

Medically Unexplained Symptoms (New)Defines on the basis of positive symptoms rather than absence of medical explanation (distressing somatic symptoms plus abnormal thoughts, feelings, and behaviors

29


Somatic Symptom Disorder (new)Hybrid diagnosis combining Somatization Disorder and Undifferentiated Somatoform DisorderDiagnosis for Somatoform Disorder was based on an unrealistically high symptom count (4 pain, 2 GI, 1 sex, and 1 neurological), now the focus is on abnormal thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that may or may not have a medical conditionNo specific number of symptoms is required, but they must be persistent (six months)No longer requires that medical symptoms are unexplainable

Conversion Disorder (Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder)

Emphasizes neurological exam and recognizes that psychological factors may not be identified immediately


Illness Anxiety DisorderHypochondriasis was eliminated due to pejorative connotation and interference with therapeutic bondThose previously diagnosed with Hypo and high symptoms will fall into Somatic Symptom DiagnosisThis category covers those with high health anxiety, but low symptoms

Pain DisorderEliminates the distinction between psychological factors, disease and injury, or both.Chronic pain is viewed as a combination of somatic, psychological, and environmental influences

30


Psychological Factors Affecting Other Medical Conditions and Factitious Disorder

A hybrid combination of two disorders with predominant somatic symptomsThe specific psychological factors are removed as they are covered in the stem diagnosisNo external gain is obvious


Chapter 10. Feeding and Eating DisordersBinge-Eating Disorder –NEW Diagnosis

Graduated from Further Study to a Disorder after extensive researchTypically addressed in past by diagnosis of Eating Disorder NOSRecurring episodes of eating more food than normal in a short period of time, with feelings of loss of control, guilt, embarrassment, and disgustOnly change from DSM-IV proposal was the reduction in frequency of binge eating from twice weekly for 6 months to weekly for 3 monthsDistinguishes between binge eating and overeating

31


Pica and Rumination DisorderReworded and extended to all ages

Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder

Feeding Disorder of Infancy and Childhood has been renamed and criteria significantly expandedAdults and adolescents also restrict food intake and experience physiological/psychological issuesBroad Category intended to capture a variety and range of presentations


Anorexia NervosaCore concepts are unchanged, but drops amenorrheaCriterion A focuses on behaviors, but still requires the person to be at a significantly low body weight, no longer 85% and wording clarificationsCriterion B is expanded to include not only overtly expressed fear of weight gain, but behavior that interferes with normal weight gain

Bulimia NervosaOnly change is a reduction from twice to average of once weekly for binge eating

32

Highlights of Changes DSM-IV-TR and DSMChapter 11. Elimination Disorders

Free-standing Category with no major changesChapter 12. Sleep-Wake Disorders

Sleep disorders can occur in isolation or with other disorders (multiple diagnosis)Narcolepsy (hypocretin deficiency) separated from other Hypersomnolence DisordersBreathing Related Sleep Disorders –obstructive sleep apnea, central sleep apnea, sleep-related hypoventilationRestless Leg Syndrome included in DSM-5

Highlights of Changes DSM-IV-TR and DSMChapter 13. Sexual Dysfunction

Gender specific sexual dysfunctionsFemale Sexual Desire and Female Arousal combined into Female Sexual Interest/Arousal DisorderParaphilias now have their own chapter

Chapter 14. Gender DysphoriaReplaces Gender Identity DisorderEmphasizes gender incongruenceDevelopmentally appropriate criteria

Mental Retardation – DSM-IV-TRA. Significantly below average intellectual functioning as measured by

IQ below 70 on individually administered testsB. Deficits in adaptive functioning in two areasC. Onset prior to age 18

317.0 MILD MENTAL RETARDATION - Formerly categorized as “educable.” IQ is 50-55 to 70318.0 MODERATE MENTAL RETARDATION - Formerly categorized as “trainable.” IQ is 35-40 to 50-55318.1 SEVERE MENTAL RETARDATION - Acquire little speech and self care skills. IQ is 20-25 to 35-40318.2 PROFOUND MENTAL RETARDATION - Poor motor skills and little capacity for self-care. IQ is below 20-25319.0 UNSPECIFIED MENTAL RETARDATION - Used when the diagnosis is assumed, but conditions make it impossible to administer standardized tests.

Mental Retardation - Changes

Proposed DSM-5 Rationale for Mental RetardationThe term “Mental Retardation” to describe cognitive deficits is outdated and pejorative. Proposal to change terminology to “Intellectual Disabilities” to be consistent with current international thinking.The usefulness of the current categories (Mild, Moderate, Severe, and Profound) may be changed to a single category of Intellectual DisabilitiesDiagnostic Specifiers to include 1) IQ measure and 2) Adaptive FunctioningAdded rigor for psychometrics, but no cut-off changeIncrease number of domains for adaptive functioning including: Conceptual Domain, Social Domain, Practical DomainThe DSM-5 proposal is consistent with the proposed ICD-11 criteria which do not list IQ test score requirements

Learning Disorder/Learning Disability- DSM5

Establishes general criteria for learning disordersLearning disorders interfere with the acquisition and use of one or more of the following academic skills: oral language, reading, written language, mathematics. These disorders affect individuals who otherwise demonstrate at least average abilities essential for thinking or reasoning. As such, Learning Disorders are distinct from Intellectual Developmental Disorder.Diagnostic criteria do not depend upon comparisons with overall IQ and are consistent with abandoning the use of a severe discrepancy between intellectual ability and achievement for determining whether a child has a specific learning disability, as defined in 34 CFR 300.8(c)(10).The Learning Disorder Not Otherwise Specified category may be coded under this super-ordinate category of Learning Disorder.

41

Learning Disorder/Learning Disability-DSM5

Learning Disorders (DSM-IV)

Must contain three elements: substantial discrepancy between achievement and ability, a significant interference in functioning, and in excess of any sensory issues.

315.00 Reading Disorder

315.1 Mathematics Disorder

315.2 Disorder of Written Expression

315.9 Learning Disorder NOS

Specific Learning Disorder (paraphrased)

Diagnosis is based on synthesis of developmental history, psychoeducation measures, and Response To Intervention based on the following:

A. History or current presentation of persistent difficulties in the acquisition of reading, writing, arithmetic, or mathematical reasoning skills during the formal years of schooling . The individual must have at least one of the following:

1. Inaccurate or slow word reading

2. Difficulty comprehending what is read

3. Poor spelling

4. Difficulty with written expression

5. Difficulties remembering number facts

6. Ineffective /inaccurate mathematical reasoning.



B. Current skills in one or more academic skills are well-below the average range for the individual’s chronological age, indicated by scores on individually-administered, standardized, appropriate tests of academic achievement in reading, writing, or mathematics. Over 17, a documented history may substitute for testing.

C. The learning began during school-age or once demands exceed capability.

D. The learning difficulties are not better explained other disorders.

42



Coding Note: Specify all academic domains that are impaired. When more than one domain is impaired, each should be coded individually

B. The disturbance in Criterion A significantly interferes with academic achievement or activities of daily living.

C. The disturbance is not due to a general medical and *does not meet criteria for a Pervasive Developmental Disorder.

D. *If Mental Retardation is present, the motor difficulties are in excess of those usually associated with it.

substantially below expected levels, Difficulties are manifested as coordination problems, poor balance, clumsiness, dropping or bumping into things;

B. The disturbance in Criterion A, interferes with activities of daily living or academic achievement.

C. Onset is in the early developmental period

D. The disturbance is not due to intellectual disability, visual impairment, or a general medical condition

43

Stereotypic Movement Disorder

DSM-IVA. Repetitive, seemingly driven, and nonfunctional

motor behavior (e.g., hand shaking or waving, body rocking, head banging, mouthing of objects, self-biting, hitting own body).

B. The behavior markedly interferes with normal activities or results in self-inflicted bodily injury that requires medical treatment (or would result in an injury if preventive measures were not used).

C. If Mental Retardation is present, the stereotypic or self-injurious behavior is of sufficient severity to become a focus of treatment.

D. The behavior is not better accounted for by a compulsion (as in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder), a tic (as in Tic Disorder), a stereotypy that is part of a Pervasive Developmental Disorder, or hair pulling (as in Trichotillomania).

E. The behavior is not due to the direct physiological effects of a substance or a general medical condition.

F. The behavior persists for 4 weeks or longer.Specify if:With Self-Injurious Behavior: if the behavior results in

bodily damage that requires specific treatment (or that would result in bodily damage if protective measures were not used)

A. Repetitive, seemingly driven, and apparently purposeless motor behavior

B. The disturbance causes impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.

C. Onset is in the early developmental period.

D. The motor behavior is not due to another disorder.

Specify if: With self-injurious behavior or without self-injurious behavior

Severity Specifier: Mild, Moderate, Severe

Communication DisordersAll former DSM-IV Communication Disorders and

all proposed disorders have been subsumed under three superordinate categories Language Disorders, Speech Disorders, and Social Communication Disorders.

Mixed Receptive-Expressive Language Disorder, were removed based on research

Proposed: earlier classifications Speech Sound Disorder, Childhood Onset Fluency Disorder, Voice Disorder, Language Impairment Disorder, Late Language Emergence Disorder, and Specific Language Impairment Disorder

44

Language Disorder – DSM5

DSM-IV315.31 Expressive Language Disorder- Individuals may have small

vocabularies or trouble producing grammatically correct sentences. Acquired type occurs after a major neurological event. Language abilities are substantially below intellectual ability and interfere with functioning.

315.31Mixed Receptive-Expressive Language Disorder

- Individuals have problems producing and understanding language, words, or sentences. This disorder involves difficulty in both understanding words or signs (receptive language) and in using words or signs to communicate (expressive language). Onset is typically prior to age 4 and is seen in approximately three percent of children. Often a predictor of later learning disabilities.

DSM5315.39 (F80.9) Language Disorder (paraphrased)

A. Persistent difficulties in the acquisition and use of spoken language or written languageand other modalities

B. Language abilities that are below age expectations resulting in functional limitations in communication, social participation, or academic achievement.

C. Onset of symptoms is in the early developmental period.

D. The difficulties are not attributable to sensory impairment, neurological conditions, or intellectual ability

Speech Sound Disorder – DSM5

DSM-IV

315.39 Phonological Disorder (formerly Developmental Articulation Disorder)

- Speech develops slowly for the individual’s age. This was formerly referred to as Developmental Articulation Disorder. Differential with Expressive Language Disorder is that the focus here is on sounds and speech sound production not utilization of language. Often observed in substituting one sound for another and in omitting certain sounds entirely.

DSM5

315.39 (F80.0) Speech Sound Disorder (paraphrased)

A. Persistent difficulties in speech sound production.

B. The disturbance causes limitations in effective communication, social participation, or academic/occupational performance.


D. The difficulties are not attributable to congenital or acquired neurological conditions

45

Childhood-Onset Fluency Disorder (Stuttering) – DSM5

307.9 Stuttering-There is a frequent

disruption in the normal fluency of speech characterized by repetitions or prolongation of sounds. It affects approximately one percent of pre-school children and the onset occurs between ages two to seven with peak onset at about age five. Recovery occurs in approximately 80 percent of individuals by age 18.

DSM-5 (paraphrased)

315.35 (F80.81) Childhood-Onset Fluency Disorder (Stuttering)

A. Disturbances in fluency and time patterning of speech marked by frequent occurrences of one or more of the following: 1) sound and syllable repetitions, 2) sound prolongations, 3) broken words, 4) silent blocking, 5) circumlocutions, and 6) monosylabic whole word repetitions

B. The disturbance causes anxiety


D. Disturbance is not attributable to sensory deficit, neurological insult, or other medical conditions

Social (Pragmatic)Communication Disorder – DSM5 (New Diagnosis)

New Diagnosis 315.39 (F80.89) Social (Pragmatic) Communication Disorder (paraphrased)

A. Persistent difficulties in pragmatics or the social uses of verbal and nonverbal communication as manifested by

1. Deficits in using communication for social purposes

2. Impairment in ability to change communication to match context

3. Difficulties following rules for conversation.

4. Difficulty in understanding what is not explicitly stated, e.g. idioms, inferences, multiple meanings

46

Social (Pragmatic)Communication Disorder – DSM5 (New Diagnosis)

B. The deficits result in limitations in social participation, communication, academics, or occupational

C. Symptoms must be present in early developmental period (but may not become fully manifest until speech, language, or communication demands exceed limited capacities).

D. The Symptoms are not attributable to another medical or neurological condition

Autism Spectrum DisorderRationale for Changes in DSM5

Differentiation between ASD and other typical development and “nonspectrum disorders” is done reliably and consistently; whereas, differentiation among disorders is clouded by severity, language, and intelligenceAutism is defined by a common set of behaviors as a single diagnostic category adapted to clinical presentation by specifiers and associated featuresA single spectrum disorder reflects the state of knowledge and clinical presentationBoundary between high-functioning autism and Asperger’s Disorder is artificial --- “cleave meatloaf at the joints”Gray matter volume can distinguish between Autism and normals, but no distinction between Autism and Asperger’sGreater consistency with ICDOngoing debate about retaining the less “stigmatizing” diagnoses of Asperger’s and PDD NOS

Autism Spectrum DisorderRationale for Changes in DSM5

Three Domains Become Two (Social interaction, Communication, and Restricted Repetitive Behavior)1) Social/Communication Deficits2) Fixated Interests and Repetitive Behaviors

Communication and Social Behaviors are coterminousLanguage delays are not universal nor defining and have been removed from criteriaRequiring both criteria to be completely met increases accuracyDecision is supported by extensive literature reviews

Requiring that all the Social/Communication be met increases accuracyRequiring two symptoms of repetitive behaviors increases accuracyRemoves focus on language delayUnusual sensory behaviors are spelled out with greater specificityOnset of symptoms prior to age 3 has been relaxed (late onset due to social demands overwhelming capacitySeverity Levels are also specified

48

Autism Spectrum Disorder299.00 (F84.0) Autism Spectrum Disorder (paraphrased)Must meet criteria A, B, C, and D:

1. Deficits in social-emotional reciprocity2. Deficits in nonverbal communicative behaviors used for

social interaction3. Deficits in developing and maintaining relationships,

appropriate to developmental level (beyond those with caregivers)

Severity is based on social communication impairments and restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior:

Level 3: Requiring very substantial supportLevel 2: Requiring substantial supportLevel 1: Requiring support

Autism Spectrum DisorderB. Restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or

activities as manifested by at least two of the following: 1. Stereotyped or repetitive speech, motor movements,

or use of objects; 2. Insistence on sameness, inflexible adherence to

routines, or ritualized patterns of verbal or non-verbal behavior

3. Highly restricted, fixated interests that are abnormal in intensity or focus

4. Hyper-or hypo-reactivity to sensory input or unusual interest in sensory aspects of the environment

Severity is based on social communication impairments and restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior:

Level 3: Requiring very substantial supportLevel 2: Requiring substantial supportLevel 1: Requiring support

d. Often does not follow through on instructions (e.g., starts tasks but quickly loses focus, fails to finish schoolwork, chores, or tasks in the workplace).

e. Often has difficulty organizing tasks and activities (e.g., difficulty managing sequential tasks; difficulty keeping materials and belongings, poor time management; tends to fail to meet deadlines).

f. Often avoids, dislikes, or is reluctant to engage in tasks that require sustained mental effort (e.g., schoolwork or homework; for older adolescents and adults, preparing reports, completing forms, or reviewing lengthy papers).

Specify Based on Current Presentation314.01 (F90.2) Combined Presentation: A1 and A2 are met for past six months314.00 (F90.0) Predominately Inattentive Presentation: A1 is met but A2 is not met for the past six months314.01 (F90.1) Predominately Hyperactive/Impulsive Presentation: A2 is met but A1 is not met for the past six months

Coding note: If criteria were met previously, but fewer than symptoms than criteria have been met in past six months, but symptoms still impair functioning, Specify: In Partial Remission

Severity Specifier: Mild, Moderate, or Severe

Oppositional Defiant DisorderSymptom list remains the same, but is now clustered into three groups:

Angry/Irritable Mood, Argumentative/Defiant Behavior, and Vindictiveness

Some of the 8 symptoms are predictive of other disruptive behavior disorders (ADHD, CD), but the emotional symptoms (Angry/Irritable Mood) are distinctive

A severity index is proposed based on pervasiveness, as children who display symptoms in multiple settings are more impaired than those who are symptomatic in only one setting

52

Oppositional Defiant Disorder

DSM5

313.81 (F91.3) Oppositional Defiant Disorder (paraphrased)

A. A persistent pattern of angry/irritable mood, argumentative/defiant behavior, or vindictiveness lasting at least six months as evidenced by at least four symptoms from any of the following categories, observed during interaction with at least one individual that is not a sibling.

Angry/Irritable Mood

1. loses temper

2. easily annoyed

3. angry and resentful

Argumentative/Defiant Behavior

4. argues with authority figures or adults (for children and adolescents)

5. actively defies or refuses to comply with requests from authority figures or rules

6. deliberately annoys others

7. blames others for his or her mistakes or misbehavior

Vindictiveness

8. spiteful or vindictive at least twice within the past six months

Oppositional Defiant Disorder

For children <5, behaviors must occur on most days for 6 months

For children >5, behaviors must occur at least once a week for six months

While these frequency criteria provide guidance other factors should also be considered such as whether the behaviors are non-normative given the individual’s developmental level, gender, and culture.

B. The disturbance in behavior is associated with distress in the individual or others in immediate social context (family, peers, work colleagues) causes impairment in social, educational, or vocational activities

D. The behaviors do not occur exclusively during the course of a Psychotic, Substance Use, Depressive, or Bipolar Disorder. Also, the individual does not meet criteria for Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder

Severity Specifiers: Mild, Moderate, Severe

performance, not put forth effortShallow or Deficient Affect – does not express emotion or

emotions used to manipulateSeverity Specifiers: Mild, Moderate, Severe

54

Non-Suicidal Self Injury (NSSI) Did not make it into DSM-5 but included in Section IIIResearch has shown that NSSI occurs in a variety of diagnosesSimilarity to suicide behaviors promotes the misconception that self-injury with a sharp object is a suicide attempt.

Age of onset is 10 to 15, 7% of adolescents report one episode, 4% report four or more times per year.

Suicidal Behavior Disorder Did not make it into DSM-5 but included in Section III

Despite the fact that suicide behavior is associated with psychiatric disorders, results in high utilization of mental health services, and is the best predictor of nonfatal and fatal suicide attempts, DSM codes are limited to E codes (self-inflicted injury).

Suicide behavior and attempts are symptoms of other disorders (BPD, MDD, BPD) but are not disorders

Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder

The name of the disorder was changed from Temper Dysregulation Disorder to Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder.

Most of the children who meet criteria for Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder will also meet criteria for Oppositional Defiant Disorder, since the two disorders have overlapping symptoms. However, only a minority of youth with Oppositional Defiant Disorder will meet criteria for Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder,.

Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder requires impairment across two settings, one of which is severe, and the symptom threshold is higher than that set for Oppositional Defiant Disorder.

To avoid having artificial comorbidity due to overlapping symptoms, the Work Group has recommended that youth who meet criteria for both Oppositional Defiant Disorder and Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder should only be assigned the diagnosis of Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder.Provides a more appropriate diagnosis for Pediatric Bipolar Disorder

55


296.99 (F34.8) Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (paraphrased)

A. Severe recurrent temper outbursts manifested verbally and/or behaviorally, that are grossly out of proportion in intensity or duration to the situation or provocation.

B. The temper outbursts are inconsistent with developmental level.

C. Frequency: The temper outbursts occur, on average, three or more times per week.

D. Mood between temper outbursts: persistently irritable or angry mostnearly every day, is observable by others (e.g., parents, teachers, peers).

E. Criteria A-D have been present for 12 or more months. Throughout that time, the person has not had 3 or more consecutive months without all the symptoms of Criteria A-D.

F. Criterion A and D are present in at least two settings (at home, at school, or with peers) and are severe in at least in one setting.


G. The diagnosis should not be made for the first time before age 6 or after age 18.

H. Age at onset of Criteria A through E is before age 10 years.I. There has never been a distinct period lasting more than one day during

which the full symptom criteria, except duration, for a manic or hypomanic episode have been met.

J. The behaviors do not occur exclusively during an episode of Major Depressive Disorder or by another mental disorder

(Note: This diagnosis cannot co-exist with Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Intermittent Explosive Disorder or Bipolar Disorder, though it can co-exist with Major Depressive Disorder, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Conduct Disorder, and Substance Use Disorders. Individuals meeting criteria for both Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder and Oppositional Defiant Disorder should only be given the diagnosis of Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder.

If an individual has ever experienced a manic or hypomanic episode, the diagnosis of DMDD should not be assigned.)

K. The symptoms are not due to the effects of a drug or to a general medical or neurological condition.

CASE STUDY #1 Stephen Sandstone

Stephen was referred to a local Family Services agency by his pediatrician as a result of a history of over activity, behavior problems in school, and poor social relationships. His mother indicated that Steven was particularly active as an infant and a toddler. Stephen’s teachers found him difficult to control and they see him as being extremely impulsive and distractible, moving from one activity to the next. His teachers report that he does not seem to listen even when spoken to directly and has difficulty organizing tasks and losing things necessary to complete tasks. He often talks excessively and is reported to be constantly on “the go.” His teacher reports that he is immature and restless, responds best in a structured one-on-one situation, and is considered the class “pest” as he is constantly annoying other children. He frequently blurts out answers before the questions are asked and interrupts the work of other students

At age 8, he currently knows his alphabet and has a sight vocabulary of approximately 20 words. He cannot read a full sentence and his math skills are also minimal. Because of these learning difficulties Stephen is in a small, self-contained class for learning disabled children and has failed to progress. He often fails to give close attention to details and makes careless mistakes in schoolwork.

Since the start of the school year, he has soiled his pants two to three times per week. He does not have any friends and has been reported by the bus driver for fighting with other children. His mother reports that Stephen responds well to discipline, but lately he has started talking back and swearing at her. He frequently throws temper tantrums, especially if she asks him to do something or denies a request. His constant whining is irritating for her, especially since her husband has been in the hospital for the past six months. Because of his illness, his father has been minimally involved with Stephen’s discipline for the last two years.

CASE STUDY # 2 James Red

James is a five-year-old who shows significant delays in social and self-help skills. He makes a variety of sounds but has yet to form them into intelligible words. At times he uses peculiar finger movements and flaps his hands when he is either very happy or very angry. His parents report that sometimes he is very affectionate, but does not play appropriately with other children very well. A variety of inappropriate behaviors make him a difficult child to manage and he often has temper tantrums and screams without cause. He does not react to spankings and does not cry.

His family tolerates his minor daily rituals, but interruptions cause them considerable distress. His father feels that he is “babied and catered to,” but is mother feels that she must do everything possible, and that sometimes “she can’t ignore him.” His mother does not feel supported by her husband and feels that she is “in this by herself.” At this point, James does not yet dress himself and wears diapers day and night. He is very attached to a stuffed bear, but easily separates from his mother. Often he will engross himself for long periods of time twisting tissues or blades of grass in front of his face. His parents are concerned that he is oblivious to danger himself unless he is constantly supervised. They report that he rarely complies with commands or expected tasks.

When James was 18 months old his parents began to suspect that he was different. He seemed “too good” and, at the same time, not responsive enough. Intellectual functioning cannot be assessed, but the examiner felt that there are some impairments.

On a recent clinic visit James continued to display poor social relations. He easily took the interviewer’s hand, but did not discriminate between his mother and other strangers in the waiting room. An occasional grimace momentarily altered his somewhat otherwise bland expression. He appears to tune out and be disinterested in most things about him. The background noise in the clinic agitated him, and he frequently put his fingers in his ears. When he became upset, he butted his head against his mother and resisted her attempts to comfort.

CASE STUDY # 3 Dante Purple

Dante, an eleven-year-old child, was brought to the clinic by his mother (at the request of his school) because of continued fighting and bullying. His mother claims that Dante has always been a “handful,” but now feels that he gets out of line too often and that she can no longer control him. She recently found numerous items in his room that she believes to be stolen, and she has received several reports from the neighbors about property damage. He lies constantly, even when caught and confronted. When confronted he shows no remorse or guilt. He was recently suspended from school along with two friends for having set up a blockade to get younger kids on their way home from school. They then made demands for money, but Dante claimed that they intended no harm. There was, however, an incident in which a younger girl was pushed off her bike “but Dante saw it as no big deal”.

Dante has repeated both first and second grades. His teachers report that he is easily frustrated, and is failing most subjects. He is constantly out of his seat creating a disruption. He usually looks unhappy and upset, but is unconcerned about his poor performance. His behavior is viewed as attention seeking. He works much better in a small resource class to which he is assigned two hours a day for help in reading. Most of the rest of the day is spent in the principal’s office. Dante is described as showing no empathy, no remorse, and no emotion.

Dante is the second oldest of four children in a single parent home. His natural father left over two years ago and his mother works two part-time jobs to make ends meet. This means that the children are left unsupervised a good part of the day with Dante’s older sister taking most of the responsibility. Dante does not get along with his sister and will hit and bite her if she tries to manage him. During the interview Dante said little and looked “absent.” When asked, he denied feeling “blue” but complained that his sister is “mean” to him. He stated that his sister once hit him with a bat, but she got a “whooping” for it. Prior testing showed that Verbal IQ equals 57, Performance IQ equals 78, and Full Scale IQ equals 66.

CASE STUDY # 4 Susan Yellow

Six-year-old Susan was brought to the clinic by her parents who stated that their child was ruining their marriage. The father feels that the mother spoils the child with inconsistent discipline. The mother feels that she tries her best without success and that the father is extremely harsh and critical. Mother reports that their marriage was “rocky” from the very beginning and has just gotten worse with Susan’s disruptive behavior. Mother acknowledges that she has been diagnosed with major depression and wonders if she passed this on to Susan.

For the past three years Susan has been “extremely difficult.” She is willful and the “terrible twos” were never outgrown. Her mother states for the past year she is angry and resistive “all the time, and no one wants to have anything to do with her.” Susan often spoils family events by her misbehavior. At the private school she attends the teachers often have her play quietly by herself because she irritates and annoys the other children. In turn, the other children who attempt to respond to her are met with aggression such as throwing things or slapping them. She lisps, has difficulty sounding out “d’s,” and stutters when excited, but this has improved somewhat in the past year. Developmental milestones have been reached within normal limits. She is considered quite bright in school but her behavior makes learning difficult.

During the clinic interview, Susan seemed to enjoy the individual attention shown her, but was demanding and destructive of the toys in the room. At the end of the interview, she tried to keep the toys even though she was told she couldn’t. She refused to help clean up at the end of the session stating she “ just don’t feel like it.” Both parents appear to be substantially invested in their child, but are finding her violent temper tantrums more and more difficult to handle.

CASE STUDY # 5 Betty Blue

Betty is a 15-year-old girl who lives with her parents and is seeking therapy because her parents found her hanging from her closet door with a belt around her neck. Her parents came to her rescue only because they heard her violently kicking the door. Betty states that she changed her mind about wanting to die “and the belt hurt my neck.” Betty has a history “eating when she is upset” but no history of purging or other compensatory efforts Her weight has ranged from 160 pounds at age 14 to the current low of 125. She has a tendency to be slightly heavy but is five feet six inches call. She’s an excellent athlete, jogs 6 miles a day, and plays competitive basketball on her high school team.

There are periods when she feels depressed, because of the way she looks and the friction at home between her parents. and can’t take it any more She is more likely to binge during these times, eating in secret, rapidly devouring huge quantities of food usually junk food, even though she is not hungry She has been known to eat an entire chicken at one setting, only to later purge through self-induced vomiting. She then becomes depressed about how fat she looks and refuses dates because of her embarrassment. She has been binging several times a week for months. She reports having a “stash” of junk hidden in her closet that her father does not know anything about. She is afraid that if he discovers the “stash,” he’ll constantly pull room checks and increase his anger at her daily “weigh ins.” She feels a great deal of pressure from her father to win an athletic scholarship.

She is a good student and is curious about the psychological basis for bingeing. She says she now understands how an alcoholic must feel because she knows that bingeing is bad for her but she simply can’t stop when she starts to eat. “Something must be terribly wrong with me. Sometimes I am amazed that any human can eat that much” She has kept her bingeing a secret from her parents and only one of her friends knows about her habits.

CASE STUDY # 6 Helen Black

Helen, a five-year old was referred by her caseworker after several disrupted placements in foster care. She was in the 15th percentile for weight, although height was normal. The caseworker was struck by Helen’s sad expression and lack of interest in toys. She moved around the room in almost a frenzy with a constant stream of verbalizing and attempts to get all the adults to focus on her. When the social worker attempted to talk to the foster mother, Helen began going through the social worker’s purse.

Helen’s existence had been chaotic since birth. Having been born to a chronic paranoid schizophrenic mother, who has now been institutionalized, Helen had minimal care from her mother. Her father is unknown. A landlady who took an interest in Helen provided some level of care as her mother’s illness deteriorated. Her mother had been hallucinating and delusional since Helen’s birth, and it was doubtful whether she would ever be able to provide adequate care. Helen was literally passed from person to person in the neighborhood and the mother would allow her to be on the streets at all hours of the night. She shows no real connection to her biological mother even though she was in the room for the interview.

During the interview Helen was constantly interrupted the examiner. Motor development appears to be normal. She moved from lap to lap of any adult who came in the room. She attempted to remove a broach that the case worker was wearing while she sat in her lap. The mother of a little boy in the waiting room accused Helen of acting inappropriately by trying to kiss her son on the mouth. At one point she wandered out of the office and was found in another worker’s office playing with a stuffed animal. to play with, she refused and sat in the corner playing with her fingers in a repetitive fashion.

Combining Substance Abuse and Dependence Into One Disorder Substance Use Disorder

DSM-IV categories of substance abuse and substance dependence are replaced with the category of “substance use disorder.” “Addiction” i.e. Dependence, is not a proposed disorder for DSM-5.

The criteria are minimally changed. The symptoms listed in DSM-IV under “substance abuse” and “substance dependence” were combined to create the list for substance use disorders. The only change to the list was the removal of legal problems, since these are not included in the World Health Organization’s International Classification of Diseases (ICD)—because of marked variations in international as well as in local U.S. jurisdiction standards.

Section reorganized according to substance (whereas these were previously organized according to the diagnosis

Module VII: Case Studies 7 - 11 and Questions and Answers

CASE STUDY # 7Laura Lemon

Laura, age 9 was brought to the clinic for excessive shyness, difficulty going to sleep, and an inability to be alone in the house. In addition, she had begun to brood that the family dog might get sick and die. She looked very sad and her affect was generally very flat. Her mother had just returned home following three months of psychiatric hospitalization for severe depression. The mother’s illness had followed her husband separation from the family in order to live with a younger woman whom he intends to marry.

Laura had been reluctant to attend school when in kindergarten and first grade, but the school had handled this by setting limits about school attendance. At home, she often attempted to sleep in her parents’ bed. In the past two years, the problems had worsened considerably. Frequently, Laura would fake illness on school days, and she had begun to do poorly academically. Recent testing had revealed reading difficulties that were thought to be long-standing, and tutoring had been initiated. This academic year she was repeating third grade. Laura has taken this poorly and has no friends in her current class.

During the interview, Laura spoke with reluctance and appeared sad. She seemed preoccupied with her dog, named Mandy, and feared that the dog might fall ill. When asked directly, she said she did not sleep well unless she was in the same bed as her mother. Although she admitted that she could not stay in her house alone for even 10 minutes, she claimed this was almost never a problem as long as her older sister, a neighbor, or a baby sitter was with her, which was almost all the time. She admitted she wanted to have more friends but was reluctant to spend much time in their houses except for a girl who lived next door, from whose house she could see her own house.

CASE STUDY # 8 Paula Pear

Paula is a four-year-old female who currently lives in a foster home. She had been in foster care on several prior occasions as a result of physical and emotional abuse. Recently she had been reunited with her biological mother and her father, who had been diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic. Four months ago, she witnessed her father shoot her mother and then threaten to kill Paula before finally turning the gun on himself and making her watch as he pulled the trigger.

Since that time she has had repeated nightmares where she re-experiences the evening again. She repeatedly talks about the experience and seems unable to talk about other subjects. Her father’s brother has made inquiries about adopting her, however, whenever he visits she cries continually. When her uncle visits she claims that her name is “Angel” and that God is watching over her. Her uncle is threatening to make her live with them and has hired an attorney to fight the State for custody. She refuses to go back to her hometown even for short visit with her former classmates and neighbors.

Paula has become increasingly irritable, has difficulty falling asleep, and has difficulty concentrating in school. She has become excessively afraid of blood and has been known to pass out at school if one of her classmates is injured in a minor fashion. At school she does not participate in class and tends to isolate herself on the playground. She refuses to be left alone in a room, and follows her foster mother from room to room.

CASE STUDY # 9 Adam Apple

Adam is a well-groomed 16-year-old male whose hands are badly chapped and the color of dusty bricks. He states that, “whenever I go to the bathroom I get this feeling that there could be some semen on my hands and it might get some girl pregnant even if I only shook hands with her. I get this urge to wash my hands, but then after I have washed them I’m afraid to turn off the water because I touched the handle with my “dirty” hands. At times I am afraid to come out of the bathroom because I may have touched the door, on my way in and “it may have semen on it.”

Adam was extremely bright and a good student, however, recently his grades had been slipping. Adam attributed this to his hand washing rituals. Whenever he thought he might have accidentally contaminated his hands with semen, by masturbating, he felt compelled to scrub them thoroughly. A year earlier, this had only meant three or four minutes with a bar of soap and water as hot as hot as he could stand it. Now he carries surgical soap with him and may wash for 15 minutes at a time. “I know it seems crazy, but if I don’t wash, the pressure just won’t let up and builds until I haveto wash them. Washing is the only thing that relieves the pressure.”

Adam denied being depressed, although he was visibly saddened and upset about his behavior. He reported that when he thinks about girls and sex he starts tapping his fingers and makes a “clucking” sound in the back of his throat. His friends have been ridiculing him for it. The one girl who was interested in him now wants nothing to do with him. He can’t explain why he has to “cluck” and I “just can’t help myself.” His sleep and appetite had been normal; he denies hallucinations or delusions; and he did not felt guilty or suicidal. He did acknowledge that his father was a minister, and it would “absolutely kill him” if he got a girl pregnant, even by accident.

CASE STUDY # 10 Rick Rhubarb

For the past three months, nine-year-old Rick has expressed fearfulness about attending an after school program. In spite of being an excellent student, he becomes upset at the prospect of spending time in after school care. He reports a mixture of worries about failure and complains of stomachaches and headaches. Primarily, he feels sad, and for the past few weeks he has been unable to enjoy his usual school activities. Going to sleep is problematic also, because he is worried about doing poorly in school and he is frequently awakened several times during the night. At the same time, his school performance has begun to decline, because of missing school and difficulty in concentrating. He has become very blue and on several occasions he has burst into tears for no apparent reason. He has lost 10 pounds in the last month.

His mother has had three Major Depressive Episodes. During their 20 years of marriage, his parents have had continuing marital problems. Rick and his two brothers have often been at the center of their disputes. Although shy, he is a likable child and has always been a good student. In the past, he has attended summer camp, and, though he was somewhat home sick, he seemed to enjoy the activities. He has stayed overnight several times with friends who live nearby, but does appear to be somewhat tied to his mother.

During the interview, Rick suddenly began to sob and said that he felt terrible all the time. He said that at times he felt he would be better off if he were dead. Although he denied any specific suicidal plan, he indicated that he just didn’t want to wake-up in the morning. He feels guilty that he is a problem to his parents and feels responsible for many of their marital difficulties.

Case Study #11 Charles Cabbage

Charles, a 14 year old whose parents had been divorced since he was 8, was evaluated because in the past two months he had been breaking a variety of school rules. He had consistently been getting into fights with other children, which was quite unlike his previous behavior. He was recently arrested for shoplifting. His mother says that he “has gone totally crazy.” This appeared to start after his return from summer vacation.

Charles had been in California with his father for the summer. All the previous summers had been very enjoyable for Charles who was eager to spend time with his father. This year he was introduced to his father’s live-in girlfriend, who the father plans to marry. Charles felt that she monopolized his father’s time. She arranged Charles’ schedule in California to be a series of day camps, so that she had more time with his father alone. Charles was angry with his father and “I hate the witch.” Charles’ mother was also upset because his father was trying to reduce child support in connection with his upcoming marriage.

When interviewed, Charles was friendly towards the examiner, but brash in criticizing the school and pointing out what “dopes” his friends were. His boast of being “a bad ass” is out of proportion to any of his offenses. Since being back home he is openly defiant with his mother, has left the house without permission, and brought drug paraphernalia into the house that he was “keeping for a friend. His mother states that he has become a “person she doesn’t recognize any more” and is investigating boarding schools. Psychological testing indicates normal intelligence, but reading is approximately three years below grade level. Charles had always had difficulty with reading and is in a special reading program for junior high school.
