Abstract
The third edition of the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-III, APA, 1980) had a particularly dramatic effect upon child psychiatry. It highlighted a descriptive approach to diagnosis, drawing new attention to phenomenology, and to the relationships among childhood disorders, as no other classifications (e.g., the manual’s second edition [DSM-II, APA, 1968], or Group for Advancement of Psychiatry—1966) had done. DSM-III has facilitated the development of numerous structured interviews for research in child psychiatry, and its atheoretical approach and operational definitions have been a radical departure from DSM-II.
