- valid
- clinically useful
- clear-reliable
clinical approach of classification
- clusters of symptoms
- sypmtopms recurrent/intense/excessive/unreasonable
- impairment/ distress
clinical approach of classification 2
- clinician derived
- categorical
- commonly used
- changing conceptialization in young
clinical approach of classification - criticism
- overdiagnosion
- reliability varies
- lack evidence of validity
- categorical aproACH
- de emphasizing context
- not enough attention for developmental/gender differences
Empirical approach – classification
- Research-derived/statistics
- syndroms
- dimensional(quantitavive)
- comparsion with normative samples
Achenbach instruments
- Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) – by parents
- Teacher Report Form (TRF) – by teachers
- Youth Self Report (YSR) – youth 11 – 18
Research Domain Criteria (RDoc)
- alternative for DSM
- emphasis on research
- defines disorders in terms of unerlying systems instead of symptoms
- dimensional
- constructs studied across traditional diagnostic boundaries

ADHD manifestation-developmental
Manifests early (elementary school);
hyperactivity (preschool) & inattention (elementary
school
* * Heterotypic continuity
* less core symptoms but at risk for secondary later in life
ADHD - etiology
- abnormalities in frontal,striatal,cerebral structures-networks
- underarousal of brain
- dopamine and norepinephrine deficiency
Schizophrenia phases
- profromal
- acute
- residual
2.acute phase of schizophrenia
