The Elephant in the Room Series Three:
Reference to Psychological Medicine manuscripts in the Summary of the 4th meeting of the Advisory Group for Revision of ICD-10 Chapter V (Mental and Behavioural Disorders)
WordPress shortlink for this posting: http://wp.me/p5foE-22o
On 18 September, I posted a copy of the Summary Report of the 4th Meeting of the International Advisory Group for the Revision of ICD-10 Mental and Behavioural Disorders held on 1-2 December 2008, which has only just been published by the WHO.
When reading the Advisory Group’s latest report, bear in mind that it is a summary of a meeting held nine months ago. It has not yet been established when the Advisory Group anticipates publishing a summary of its next meeting which is scheduled for the end of this month (28-29 September).
Since the December 2008 meeting took place, the DSM-V “Somatic Symptom Disorders” Work Group has published an Editorial: The proposed diagnosis of somatic symptom disorders in DSM-V to replace somatoform disorders in DSM-IV – a preliminary report by DSM-V Work Group members, Joel Dimsdale (Chair) and Francis Creed. The report, published in the June 2009 issue of the Journal of Psychosomatic Research, expands on proposals in the very brief DSM-V Work Group update, published on the APA’s website, in April.
Page 1 of the Summary of the 4th Meeting of the International Advisory Group reports:
“2. Update on proposal for large groupings of mental and behavioural disorders: Overview of Psychological Medicine articles
Presenter: Dr. David Goldberg
“Dr. Goldberg described key changes and additional specifications in the proposal for large groupings of mental disorders discussed at the AG meeting in March, 2008. Manuscripts based on this proposal are now in press in Psychological Medicine. The current version of the proposals includes five clusters of disorders. Each of these clusters meets some, though not all, of the validation criteria as modified from Robins and Guze by Hyman and colleagues. Similarities within the proposed clusters make it reasonable to view the different disorders within the cluster as variations on a single theme rather than separate and ‘comorbid’ disorders. The AG emphasized that decisions about an overarching architecture of categories will need to be made within the next year, keeping in mind WHO’s emphasis on clinical utility in a broad range of settings and countries…”
and goes on to discuss the relevance of large groupings to ICD revision and the testing of clinical utility in various contexts.
The “Cluster” manuscripts referred to as “in Press in Psychological Medicine” are listed on the APA’s recently published webpage:
“Peer-Reviewed Publications from DSM-V Development”
http://www.psychiatry.org/MainMenu/Research/DSMIV/DSMV/DSMRevisionActivities/DSMV-Publications.aspx
“As part of the efforts to make information about DSM-V development as widely disseminated as possible, the American Psychiatric Institute for Research and Education is maintaining an ongoing list of peer-reviewed journal publications arising from the DSM-V planning conference series (2002-08) and from DSM-V Task Force and Work Group discussions (e.g., empirical literature reviews, secondary data analyses). This list will be continually updated.”

The June 2009 Journal of Psychosomatic Research Editorial: The proposed diagnosis of somatic symptom disorders in DSM-V to replace somatoform disorders in DSM-IV – a preliminary report by Joel Dimsdale and Francis Creed was published as free access.
It is not yet known which issue of Psychological Medicine these manuscripts are to be published in or whether they will be freely available to non subscribers to the journal.
Given that the DSM-V Task Force insists that its oversight of the DSM revision is a transparent process, one assumes that these manuscripts are going to be made freely accessible to all stakeholders irrespective of whether the proposals contained within them still stand or are now superseded by alternative proposals.
