New Developments in the Definition and Diagnosis of Autism

  • Chapter
Advances in Clinical Child Psychology

Part of the book series: Advances in Clinical Child Psychology ((ACCP,volume 6))

Abstract

There is no way to discuss the diagnosis and definition of psychopathology without first surveying the confusion surrounding these issues. There are few conferences, symposia, and colloquia of mental health professionals in which diagnostic issues are not discussed and disputed. The similarities among these diagnostic disputes do not prevent them from being repeated regularly. A great range of attitudes toward diagnostic classification can be found among researchers and clinicians. Some have devoted their careers to demonstrating the validity of a particular diagnostic category. Others have met in committees and professional groups in order to categorize the entire field of mental disorders. There are still others who believe that diagnostic labeling should be abandoned all together. They think it condemns human beings to arbitrary pigeonholes and results in restrictive and stereotype treatment. Most of all, it is extremely difficult not to have mixed feelings about the diagnostic classification process. It touches on so many of our basic interests and professional activities that we are drawn into the confusion whether we like it or not.
