What is it about?
This article offers a “primer” on several systems that can serve as either alternatives or supplements to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (fifth edition; DSM–5) in the diagnosis, conceptualization, and formulation of mental health concerns. Offering an invaluable resource to clinicians, students, and the lay public, the authors summarize the strengths and weaknesses of the International Classification of Diseases (10th and 11th editions), Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual–2, hierarchical taxonomy of psychopathology, and power threat meaning framework, while also briefly mentioning the research domain criteria research initiative.
