Abstract
This chapter explores the evolution of the major diagnostic systems for mental disorders – the APA DSM, the WHO ICD, the NIMH Research Domain Criteria (RDoC), the National Association for the Dually Diagnosed Diagnostic Manual-Intellectual Disability (DM-ID), and the Royal College of Psychiatrists Diagnostic Criteria for Psychiatric Disorders for Use with Adults with Learning Disabilities/Mental Retardation (DC-LD). In addition, the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Intellectual Disability: Definition, Classification, and Systems of Supports manual and legal definitions of ID will be explored. Additional diagnostic concepts and systems will be introduced including precision medicine, the hierarchical taxonomy of psychopathology (HiTOP) and the p factor.
