DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders) online:



The American Psychiatric Association (APA) Wesite:

The American Psychiatric Association (APA) published the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) in 1994, with a text revision in 2000. The DSM revision process has been underway since 1999. The final, approved version of the next edition, DSM-V, is anticipated to be published in May 2012.

The APA participates with the WHO in a DSM-ICD Harmonization Coordination Group. The task of this group is "to facilitate the achievement of the highest possible extent of uniformity and harmonization between ICD-11 mental and behavioural disorders and DSM-V disorders and their diagnostic criteria" with the objective that “the WHO and APA should make all attempts to ensure that in their core versions, the category names, glossary descriptions and criteria are identical for ICD and DSM.”

Revision Activities (Resources, DSM-V Work Group Reports)



The APA has set up 12 Work Groups which have been meeting since late 2007. The Work Group which has the most relevance for the ME, CFS, IBS, CS and CI communities is the:

Somatic Distress Disorders Work Group



The document above includes biosketches and disclosure information for each Work Group member. Under the chair of Professor Joel E. Dimsdale, M.D., the nine members of the DSM-V Somatic Distress Disorders Work Group are:

*Arthur J. Barsky, M.D.; *Francis Creed, M.D.; Nancy Frasure-Smith, Ph.D.; Michael R. Irwin, M.D.; Francis J. Keefe, Ph.D.; Sing Lee, M.D.; *James L. Levenson, M.D.; *Michael Sharpe, M.D.; Lawson R. Wulsin, M.D.

Four out of the ten members of the APA DSM-V Somatic Distress Disorders Work Group (asterisked) were also members of the CISSD Project Work Group; Prof Michael Sharpe, served as the CISSD Project’s UK Chair.

Report of the DSM-V Somatic Distress Disorders Work Group (November 2008)



In addition to the work being undertaken by the 12 DSM-V Work Groups, a series of 13 international conferences were held between 2004 and 2008 on "The Future of Psychiatric Diagnosis: Refining the Research Agenda", administered by the APA's American Psychiatric Institute for Research and Education (APIRE). Proceedings from these conferences serve as resource documents for the various Work Groups involved in the DSM-V revision process.

DSM-V Research Planning Conference Summaries



 

Somatic Presentations of Mental Disorders Symposium (6 - 8 September 2006)  Beijing, China:

In September 2006, in collaboration with the WHO and the NIH, the APA convened a diagnosis-related research planning conference focusing on “Somatic presentations of mental disorders”. Twenty-eight international scientists were invited to participate. This was the eighth in the series of thirteen conferences convened by the APA between 2004 and 2008.

Amongst those presenting at the Beijing Symposium were:

Ricardo Araya (Bristol, UK); Simon Wessely (KCL, London, UK); *Javier Escobar (New Jersey, US); *Richard Mayou (Oxford, UK); *Michael Sharpe (Edinburgh, UK); *Winfried Rief (Marburg, Germany) and *Kurt Kroenke (Indianapolis, US). 

*At the time, the five asterisked were also members of the international Conceptual Issues in Somatoform and Similar Disorders (CISSD) Project Work Group; Prof Kurt Kroenke and Prof Michael Sharpe served as the CISSD Project’s international and UK chairs. Javier Escobar is also a member of the APA DSM-V Task Force.

In November 2007, an Editorial and selected papers based on the Beijing Symposium presentations were published in:

Psychosom Med 2007 69: 827-900



Links for the Editorial, articles and abstracts for these papers are given in Appendix I. According to the Editorial, reprints of these articles along with additional papers from the conference will be available in a monograph to be published in late 2008 by the American Psychiatric Press, Inc. That volume will serve as a resource document for the DSM-V Task Force and disorder-specific Work Groups.

Summaries of the Beijing Symposium presentations (including recommendations for research and suggestions for future versions of classifications of mental disorders e.g. DSM-V, ICD-11 and others) can be read on the APA website at:

News Release WHO/13 16 April 2007



 

The third meeting of the International Advisory Group (AG) for the Revision of ICD-10 Mental and Behavioural Disorders was held on 11-12 March, 2008, in Geneva.

The Meeting Summary Report sets out a timeline for the revision process:

The Alpha draft version of ICD-11 should be completed in 2010, followed by 1 year for commentary and consultation.

The Beta draft version should be completed in 2011, followed by field trials, analysis of field trial data, and revision during the subsequent 2 years.

The final version for public viewing should be completed in 2013, with approval by the World Health Assembly in 2014.

For the purpose of revision of ICD mental and behavioural disorders, the following groups have been established:

International Advisory Group (AG) for the Revision of ICD-10 Mental and Behavioural Disorders

CISSD Project

Conceptual Issues in Somatoform and Similar Disorders (CISSD) Project:

The CISSD Project was undertaken between 2003 and 2007. The UK ME/CFS patient organisation, Action for M.E., acted as principal Administrators for the Project. At the time of compilation, Action for M.E. has published nothing about the DSM-ICD Harmonization process and very little about the objectives of the CISSD Project, who comprised the Project Work Group and how funding obtained in the name of the Project was spent. Action for M.E. has been called upon to publish a report on the Project.

Dr Richard Sykes PhD is an Honorary Member of the WHO Collaborating Centre:



In published papers, and when participating in conferences, the address of the WHO Collaborating Centre, Institute of Psychiatry, is given as Dr Sykes’ affiliation address.

When submitting proposals to the ICD Update and Revision Platform site, in March 2008, Dr

Sykes listed Prof Rachel Jenkins (Director, UK WHO Collaborating Centre, Institute of Psychiatry) as Principal Collaborator, CISSD Project.

Dr Sykes has been asked to clarify the nature of his relationship with the WHO Collaborating Center and the nature of the WHO Collaboration Centre’s involvement in, and relationship to the CISSD Project. See: Related documents [1] and [3].

According to the review paper published by the CISSD Project leads in July 2007:

Kroenke K, Sharpe M, Sykes R: Revising the Classification of Somatoform Disorders: Key Questions and Preliminary Recommendations. Psychosomatics 2007 Jul-Aug;48(4):277-85 Abstract:

“[The CISSD Project] was launched several years ago by Richard Sykes to stimulate a multidisciplinary dialogue about the taxonomy of somatoform disorders and the medical diagnoses of functional somatic syndromes (e.g., irritable bowel syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia). A series of three CISSD workshops, spanning a total of 6 days were

held in London, UK (May 20, 2005), Oxford, UK (March 29–31, 2006), and Indianapolis, IN (May 10–11, 2006).  The 2006 workshops brought together American and European experts to further consider the key questions and potential changes to be addressed in any revision of the Somatoform Disorders category, with the explicit aim of informing the development of DSM–V.”

The paper: Kroenke K: Somatoform disorders and recent diagnostic controversies. Psychiatr Clin North Am 2007 Dec;30(4):593-619. contains the caveat:

“Although the CISSD is an ad hoc group that includes many international experts on somatoform disorders, it was neither appointed nor sanctioned by the APA or WHO, the organizations authorized to approve revisions of DSM and ICD, respectively. As such, the CISSD recommendations should be considered advisory rather than official. Also, there were some suggestions for which the CISSD achieved near consensus but other issues where opinions diverged considerably.”
