摘要：The publication of the fifth edition of the DSM has intensified a debate begun some time agowith the announcement of the changes in diagnostic criteria proposed by the APA. This article analyzes some of these modifications. Some interesting points where it is right, such as the inclusion of dimensionality in both diagnostic classes and in some disorders, the inclusion of an obsessive-compulsive spectrum, and the disappearance of subtypes of schizophrenia. It also analyzes other more controversial points, such as the consideration of the attenuated psychosis syndrome, the description of a persistent depressive disorder, reorganization of the classic somatoform disorders as somatic symptom disorders, or maintenance of three large clusters of personality disorders, always unsatisfactory, along with an announced, but marginal, suggestion of the dimensional perspective of personality impairments. The new DSM-5 classification opens many questions about the diagnostic validity which it attempts to improve, this time taking an approach nearer to neurology and genetics than to clinical psychology.
