ICD-11 chapter on mental and behavioural disorders: heralding new ways of seeing old problems
2018
Overview
Editorials in This Issue The process of revising the 10th edition of the International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10) by the World Health Organization (WHO) is currently in its final stages with the 11th edition (ICD-11) scheduled for presentation to the World Health Assembly for approval in 2018. At the outset of the revision activities, the International Advisory Group for the Revision of the ICD-10 Mental and Behavioral Disorders decided that improving clinical utility would be a major orienting principle of the process (International Advisory Group for the Revision of ICD-10 Mental & Behavioural Disorders, 2011). According to the WHO: 'the clinical utility of a classification construct or category for mental and behavioral disorders depends on: (a) its value in communicating (e.g., among practitioners, patients, families, administrators); (b) its implementation characteristics in clinical practice, including its goodness of fit (i.e., accuracy of description), its ease of use, and the time required to use it (i.e., feasibility); and (c) its usefulness in selecting interventions and in making clinical management decisions'(Reed, 2010).
