DSM-V Reliability
Regier et al. (2013) found that 3 disorders (including PTSD) had kappa values ranging from very good (0.6-0.79) and 7 (including SZ) had kappa values of 0.4-0.59, good.
Acceptable agreement has plummeted. Cooper (2014) explains that DSM classified 0.2-0.4 as acceptable
DSM-V Validity
Kim-Cohen (2005) showed Conduct Disorder had concurrent validity by using interviews, observations and questionnaires.
Many psychologists think it lacks validity. Instead it is regarded as just a label, telling us nothing about what causes the disease
