Iterative Revision of the DSM: An Interim Report From the DSM-5 Steering Committee

Paul S Appelbaum et al. Psychiatr Serv. 2021.

Abstract

After the publication of DSM-5, the American Psychiatric Association moved to a model of iterative DSM revision. Proposals for changes-including addition and deletion of diagnostic categories-can be made whenever data become available to support these changes. Criteria for consideration of proposals and a multistage review process have been created. This Open Forum reports on the first 3 years' experience since the opening of the submission portal in late 2017. Changes to date include adoption of a new diagnostic category, clarification of existing diagnostic criteria and text, and inclusion of new nondiagnosis codes for suicidal and nonsuicidal self-injury.

Keywords: DSM classification; Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders; General psychiatry; Mental health Psychiatric diagnosis.
