Abstract
The past decade has seen a large investment of scientific and professional energy in research and debate about how to classify psychopathology. Among the most visible results of this process are the third edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (American Psychiatric Association, 1980), commonly known as the DSM-III, and the third revised edition of this book (American Psychiatric Association, 1987), called the DSM-III-R. There has already been some discussion of a DSM-IV (e.g., Millon & Klerman, 1986). These existing and projected manuals include, of course, consideration of the taxonomy of psychopathology in children and adolescents as well as in adults.
