It covers psychopathology well, and this is the single
most important among domains of assessment
It provides most of what you need to know for
assessment

and fragile factory working mother in a midwestern,
predominately Lutheran community
 Mother often unavailable due to depression and
substance use, father often unavailable due to
workaholism
 Had a number of medical complications in early
childhood, one of which involved a threat to remove
his penis; parents reflected how these experiences
drew him “inward”

disorder
Abnormal and normal behavior are qualitatively
different
Disorders are qualitatively different from one
another
Biology is a privileged level of analysis
The research goal of taxonomy is to describe
symptoms reliably to work backwards to underlying
biological cause
The Past: Competing Models of Psychopathology
Kraepelin
 1856-1926
 German psychiatrist notable for
developing psychiatric taxonomy
rooted in biological hypotheses
 Trained with Wundt, unlike
contemporaries in psychiatry
advocated detailed behavioral
analysis
 Chapter organization was based
on his textbook approach
The Past: Competing Models of Psychopathology
Adolf Meyer
 1866-1950
 Swiss psychiatrist who emigrated
to US, early APA president
 Introduced Freud and Kraepelin
to US psychiatry
 Emphasized phenomenology and
subjective experience
 Focused on importance of detailed
case history
The Past: Competing Models of Psychopathology
Anti-Classification Movement
 Rosenhan study
 Szasz
 Laing
 Humanism
 Anti-pharmacology
The Past: Competing Models of Psychopathology
Neo-Kraepelinian Propositions (Klerman, 1978)
 Psychiatry is a branch of medicine based on science
 Psychiatry treats people with illness, who are
different than people who are not sick
 There are discrete mental illnesses which are
biological in origin
 Classification should be based on reliable description
and hypotheses about underlying biology
Feigner, Robins, Guze, and neo-Kraepelinianism
 Feigner criteria (1972)
 Clinical description
 Laboratory studies (biological or
psychometric evidence)
 Delimitation from other disorders
 Follow-up research (to rule out other
explanations)
 Family study (i.e., behavior genetic
research)

Feigner et al. (1972) depression criteria
 Dysphoric mood
 5 of 9 criteria (appetite, sleep, energy, lethargy,
anhedonia, guilt, concentration, suicidality)
 At least one month
 No other psychiatric or medical explanation
The Past: Competing Models of Psychopathology
Limitations of the Medical Model
 Where are the causes and effective treatments?
 How much is diagnosis influenced by pharma and
insurance?
 Is psychopathology fully reducible to signs and
symptoms?


What about those complications that Meyer emphasized and his
notion of a detailed case history?
Did the Washington school ever intend the diagnostic formulation to
be complete? Or did external forces reduce clinical assessment to
DSM checklists?
 Psychiatric exclusivity

The problem of reviewing for psychiatry journals as microcosmic for
the problem of the diagnostic manual being written by a single
profession
The Past: Competing Models of Psychopathology
Limitations of the Medical Model
 Many aspects of the model are demonstrably wrong
 With rare exceptions normal behavior is not qualitatively
different than abnormal behavior
 Current psychiatric phenotypes have predictable patterns of
comorbidity
 A number of factors affect functioning and outcomes for
persons with psychopathology that are not in the manual
The Past: Competing Models of Psychopathology
Question
 Have you ever recorded patient information for
purposes not directly to treatment delivery?

What is important about the medical model?
 Clinical experience
 Reliable description
 Biology
 Pragmatic, categorical worldview
 Treatment matching
The Past: Competing Models of Psychopathology
Quantitative Trait Psychology
The Past: Competing Models of Psychopathology
Assumptions of Quantitative Trait Psychology
 The nature of psychopathology is a testable question
 Although multi-method evidence is ideal, people can
generally self-report their difficulties
 Signs reflect real entities plus error (circles and
squares)
 The best way to develop an effective taxonomy and
identify treatments is to carve nature at its joints

Advantages of a quantitative perspective
 Provides quantitative model for understanding
individual differences in psychopathology
The Past: Competing Models of Psychopathology
Meehl
 Taxometrics
 Quantitative procedures to tell if a construct
is distributed continuously or not
 Current evidence – discontinuities are rare
(Haslam, 2011)
 Actuarial prediction
 All measures are potentially useful – this is a
falsifiable question
 Clinicians are good at picking variables
 Clinicians are bad at combining variables

Summary
 There is a clinical need to describe disorders, ideally
including underlying biology
 However, it is important to recognize that


to the degree that motives, perceptions, and social contexts
affect behavior, psychopathology can not be fully reduced to
biological processes without losing important meaning
Behaviors are structured by hierarchical personality and
cognitive architectures
 In other words, psychiatric taxonomy needs

GWAS (Lancet, 2013)
 Findings from family and twin studies suggest that genetic contributions to
psychiatric disorders do not in all cases map to present diagnostic
categories. We aimed to identify specific variants underlying genetic effects
shared between the five disorders in the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium:
autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder, bipolar
disorder, major depressive disorder, and schizophrenia.
 33 332 cases and 27 888 controls
 Our findings show that specific SNPs are associated with a range of
psychiatric disorders of childhood onset or adult onset. In particular,
variation in calcium-channel activity genes seems to have pleiotropic
effects on psychopathology.

Autism Spectrum
 DSM-IV
 Autism: profound, early onset difficulties with social behavior,
communication, and atypical behaviors
 Asperger’s: (later age of onset, absence of language delay)
 PDD: sub-threshold autism
 DSM-5 proposal
 Replace these categories with a single diagnosis, ASD
Require all monothetic social communication criteria
 Meet polythetic criteria for restricted, repetitive behaviors

The Present: DSM-5
Autism Spectrum: The case for change
 Evidentiary Argument
 Quantitative evidence suggests a spectrum rather than
categorical distinctions, that social and communication
symptoms cohere
 Age of onset and language delay relate quantitatively, not
qualitatively, to this spectrum
 Clinical Argument
 Monothetic criteria will result in more qualitative homogeneity
while also permitting more quantitative heterogeneity
 Moral Argument
 Collapsing categories will permit greater access to services for
people who do not have DSM-IV Autism
The Present: DSM-5
Autism Spectrum: Prevalence hysteria in DSM-IV
 Prevalence and access to services
 “59 percent of those who were ‘diagnosed not autistic’ in the
1980s would qualify as having autism today” (Miller et al.,
2013)
1 out of 88 people have autism
 1 in 34 South Korean people have autism

The Present: DSM-5
Autism Spectrum: DSM-5 Prevalence
 McPartland et al., 2012 (also Mattila et al., 2011 from
Finnish epidemiological sample)


Of people with DSM-IV ASD (any of the three) from DSM-IV
field trial, 61% meet for DSM-5 ASD
Of people without DSM-IV Autistic Disorder, 95% also do not
have DSM-5 ASD
 Social Communication Disorder as a solution?
The Present: DSM-5
Autism Spectrum: Prevalence hysteria
 “The American Psychiatric Association voted this
weekend to remove the diagnosis of Asperger’s syndrome
from the so-called bible of psychiatry, the Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual of Psychiatric Disorders. People with
Asperger’s will now more likely be diagnosed as having
autism spectrum disorder. The APA says the change will
lead to more accurate diagnoses for people with autism
— but critics say removing the diagnosis may result in
fewer people getting the services and care they need.”
Excerpt from NPR discussion, 2011
 “DSM-5 under-identifies PDDNOS” (Mayes et al., 2013)
The Present: DSM-5
Autism Spectrum: Prevalence hysteria
 “One child doesn't talk, rocks rhythmically back and
forth and stares at clothes spinning in the dryer. Another
has no trouble talking but is obsessed with trains,
methodically naming every station in his state. Autistic
kids like these hate change, but a big one is looming.”
USA Today, 2012
 “Proposed changes in the definition of autism would
sharply reduce the skyrocketing rate at which the
disorder is diagnosed and might make it harder for many
people who would no longer meet the criteria to get
health, educational and social services” NY Times, 2012

 The problem of getting appropriate services is a real one, and it is
reasonable to be concerned, even if the hyperbole isn’t necessary.

 All the short people get $50 – are you short?

Dimensions and Categories
The Present: DSM-5
Validity of Dimensional Models (Markon, 2011)
In 2 meta-analyses involving 58 studies and 59,575 participants, we quantitatively
summarized the relative reliability and validity of continuous (i.e., dimensional)
and discrete (i.e., categorical) measures of psychopathology. Overall, results
suggest an expected 15% increase in reliability and 37% increase in
validity through adoption of a continuous over discrete measure of
psychopathology alone. This increase occurs across all types of samples and forms
of psychopathology, with little evidence for exceptions. For typical observed effect
sizes, the increase in validity is sufficient to almost halve sample sizes necessary
to achieve standard power levels. With important caveats, the current results,
considered with previous research, provide sufficient empirical and theoretical
basis to assume a priori that continuous measurement of psychopathology is
more reliable and valid. Use of continuous measures in psychopathology
assessment has widespread theoretical and practical benefits in
research and clinical settings.
The Future: DSM-5.1 and beyond
Clinical Utility of Dimensional Models (First, 2005)
A potential obstacle to implementing dimensional representations in the
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) is lack of data
about clinical utility and user acceptability. Adopting a dimensional approach
would likely complicate medical record keeping, create administrative and
clinical barriers between mental disorders and medical conditions, require a
massive retreating effort, disrupt research efforts (e.g., meta-analyses), and
complicate clinicians’ efforts to integrate prior clinical research using DSM
categories into clinical practice. Efforts to empirically demonstrate the clinical
utility of dimensional alternatives should be a prerequisite for their future
implementation in order to establish that their advantages outweigh the
disadvantages. Approaches to promote user acceptability and the
development of an empirical database include dimensionalizing existing DSM
categories and including research dimensions in the DSM appendix.
The Future: DSM-5.1 and beyond
How do you think about patients?
The Future: DSM-5.1 and beyond
Challenge
 Clinical decisions are usually categorical
 It is possible that it is more natural to think about
types of people rather than patterns of variables
 Nature seems to be dimensional
 Do we learn to think differently and tolerate
arbitrary cuts, or do we force nature to accommodate
our cognitive style and clinical needs?
The Future: DSM-5.1 and beyond

The Present: DSM-5
ADHD
 Now a ‘Neurodevelopmental Disorder’
 Oppositional and Conduct disorders now in “Disruptive,
Impulse Control, and Conduct Disorders”
 Relax age-of-onset criterion
 Replace subtypes with specifiers
 Adults
 Age-appropriate criteria
 Expanded impulsivity criteria
 Lowered diagnostic thresholds for adults
 Permit dual diagnosis with autism
The Present: DSM-5
ADHD: Age of onset
 For
 It can be difficult to recall age of onset – only 50% of adults
with ADHD symptoms above diagnostic cut recalled onset
prior to 7, whereas 95% recalled symptoms prior to age 16
 This criterion was based on clinical lore in the first place
 One study suggested that using a cutoff of age 12 would not
affect prevalence (Kessler et al., 2005)
 Against
 Relaxing any criterion will inevitably increase prevalence
 Questions about motives given the most common treatment
for ADHD is pharmaceutical
 Does not fit with commonly accepted theoretical models of
ADHD
The Present: DSM-5
ADHD: Specifiers
 For
 Several studies have shown that inattentive and
hyperactive/impulsive dimensions are correlated, and can
be represented as a bifactor model

ADHD severity
 Hyperactive/impulsive style
 Inattentive style
 Against
 Clinicians are more accustomed to typological approach
 Specifiers are, in essence, still a typological approach
The Present: DSM-5
ADHD: Age-appropriate criteria
 For
 Provides for a more accurate diagnosis for adults (which
would include increasing sensitivity and thus prevalence)
 Has been hard to know if decline in rates is due to actual
declines (as is clinical lore) or insensitivity of childhood
symptoms to portray adult problems (e.g., examples of
things that might be lost include toys, school assignments,
pencils, and books)
 Against
 Giving more behavioral examples and lowering diagnostic
thresholds likely to increase prevalence
 Increasing impulsivity content may worsen diagnostic
overlap
The Present: DSM-5
ADHD: Autism
 For
 No reason a person could not have both autism and ADHD
 Against
 Increase in prevalence in ADHD
The Present: DSM-5
Larger Point: Diagnostic breadth

 Include everyone with similar features
 Distinguish everyone with different features

 Criterion A2 (requiring fear, helplessness or horror
immediately after the trauma) will be removed
The Present: DSM-5
PTSD: the case for change
 PTSD is unique etiologically and splits off from
anxiety disorders in structural research
 More consistent with empirical research on the
structure of symptoms (Anthony et al., 1999)
 Evidence not consistent with the importance of
immediate stress upon exposure to traumatic event
(Karam et al., WHO study, 2010)
 Prevalence is not affected (Nat Center for PTSD, 2012)
The Present: DSM-5
PTSD: the case against change
 To the extent that the disorder is not about the
effects of trauma (i.e., acute stress reaction), the
basis of the disorder is lost (McNally, 2011)
 Adding mood symptoms will increase overlap with
other mood, anxiety, and personality disorders,
despite moving the disorder to its own chapter
The Present: DSM-5
Larger Point: Change is difficult
 Is change worth it?
 Patients are re-classified
 Will affect access to services, forensic issues, billing
procedures, organization of interventions
 National Center for PTSD is re-norming CAPS, PCL
 Will services really improve?
 Another perspective: the manual constrains clinical
care


Do we need the manual to provide effective services once
‘caseness’ is determined? What if there were another way to
determine ‘caseness’ (clinician judgment of dysfunction)?
Need to maintain consistent prevalence

Depression and Grief
 DSM-IV grief criterion
 “The
symptoms are not better accounted for by
Bereavement, i.e., after the loss of a loved one,
the symptoms persist for longer than 2 months
or are characterized by marked functional
impairment, morbid preoccupation with
worthlessness, suicidal ideation, psychotic
symptoms, or psychomotor retardation.” (p. 356)
The Present: DSM-5
Depression and Grief: The case for change
 Research support for dropping exclusion
 Only 20% of bereaving people meet criteria for depression
(Brent et al., 1994; 2009)

Depression in the context of loss has a course (Kendler et al., 2008) ,
correlates (Zisook & Kendler, 2007), and treatment response (Zisook et al.,
2001) similar to depression without loss
 Moral argument for dropping exclusion
 Leaving depression untreated because a person is grieving is
unethical (Shear et al., 2011)
 Bereavement increases suicide risk (Ajdacic-Gross et al., 2008)
The Present: DSM-5
Depression and Grief: The case against change
 Research support against dropping exclusion

Research review was based on genuine MDD cases with and without
bereavement
no cases with bereavement without MDD, or in mixed cases, these
were not distinguished
 “The challenge is to distinguish those bereavement-related
depressions that are likely intense normal grief from those that have
turned into pathological depressions” (Wakefield & First, 2011)


Bereavement-excluded depression does not increase risk for future
depressive episodes, whereas DSM-IV depression (with or without
bereavement) does (Mojtabai, 2011)
 Moral argument for dropping exclusion


Cases excluded in DSM-IV by definition lack suicidal ideation
Pathologizing normal reactions
The Present: DSM-5

Dependence and Addiction
 “The term dependence is misleading, because people
confuse it with addiction, when in fact the tolerance
and withdrawal patients experience are very normal
responses to prescribed medications that affect the
central nervous system,” said Charles O’Brien, M.D.,
Ph.D., chair of the APA’s DSM Substance-Related
Disorders Work Group. “On the other hand,
addiction is compulsive drug- seeking behavior
which is quite different. We hope that this new
classification will help end this wide-spread
misunderstanding.”

Substance Dependence and Abuse (The Scientist, 2012)
 Allen Frances, chair of the DSM-IV Task Force
(blog):

“The further watering down of definitional standards will make
psychiatric diagnosis so ubiquitous as to be almost
meaningless—and divert scarce resources away from those
who do need them.”
 Marc Schuckit, member of the Substance Use
Disorder Work Group for the DSM-5 :

"Our goal was to try to make the criteria easier for the usual
clinician to use, and so we're no longer asking them to
remember one criteria set for abuse and a separate set for
dependence.”
The Present: DSM-5
Larger Point: Whose Clinical Utility?
 Schuckit: easier for clinicians
 Frances: focus clinician attention on most severe
These are not evidentiary issues with respect to the nature
of pathology, they are evidentiary issues with respect to

3. Is one of the 6 defined types present?
4. If so, record the type and the severity of impairment.
5. If not, is PD-Trait Specified present?
6. If so, record PDTS, identify and list the trait domain(s) that are
applicable, and record the severity of impairment.
7. If a PD is present and a detailed personality profile is desired and would
be helpful in the case conceptualization, evaluate the trait facets.
8. If neither a specific PD type nor PDTS is present, evaluate the trait
domains and/or the trait facets, if these are relevant and helpful in the

Using Crayfish, Freud demonstrated that nerve fibers emerge from a
web-like substance in the neurons and that the structure is always
fibrillary.
Freud introduced the use of gold chloride to stain nerve tissues.
Freud studied the structure and function of the medulla oblongata
and the connection between the posterior columns of the spinal cord,
the acoustic nerve, and the cerebellum.
Freud wrote the first analytical and scientific summary of
research on cocaine and was the first investigator to predict its
potential use as a local anesthetic.
Freud wrote four major texts on neurological disorders from
1891-1893 and was an international expert in aphasia and paralysis.

Matching Alcoholism Treatments to Client Heterogeneity:
Project MATCH posttreatment drinking outcomes
Two parallel but independent randomized clinical trials were conducted, one with alcohol dependent
clients receiving outpatient therapy (N = 952; 72% male) and one with clients receiving aftercare therapy
following inpatient or day hospital treatment (N = 774; 80% male). Clients were randomly assigned to one
of three 12-week, manual-guided, individually delivered treatments: Cognitive Behavioral Coping Skills
Therapy, Motivational Enhancement Therapy or Twelve-Step Facilitation Therapy. Clients were then
monitored over a 1-year posttreatment period.
Clients attended on average two-thirds of treatment sessions offered, indicating that substantial amounts of
treatment were delivered, and research follow-up rates exceeded 90% of living subjects interviewed at the
1-year posttreatment assessment. Significant and sustained improvements in drinking outcomes were
achieved from baseline to 1-year posttreatment by the clients assigned to each of these well-defined and
individually delivered psychosocial treatments. There was little difference in outcomes by type of
treatment. Only one attribute, psychiatric severity, demonstrated a significant attribute by treatment
interaction: In the outpatient study, clients low in psychiatric severity had more abstinent days after 12-step
facilitation treatment than after cognitive behavioral therapy. Neither treatment was clearly superior for
clients with higher levels of psychiatric severity.
The findings suggest that psychiatric severity should be considered when assigning clients to outpatient
therapies. The lack of other robust matching effects suggests that, aside from psychiatric severity, providers
need not take these client characteristics into account when triaging clients to one or the other of these
three individually delivered treatment approaches, despite their different treatment philosophies.

Psychotherapy for Depression in Adults
Although the subject has been debated and examined for more than 3 decades, it is
still not clear whether all psychotherapies are equally efficacious. The authors
conducted 7 meta-analyses (with a total of 53 studies) in which 7 major
types of psychological treatment for mild to moderate adult depression (cognitive–
behavior therapy, nondirective supportive treatment, behavioral activation
treatment, psychodynamic treatment, problem-solving therapy, interpersonal
psychotherapy, and social skills training) were directly compared with other
psychological treatments. Each major type of treatment had been examined in at
least 5 randomized comparative trials. There was no indication that 1 of the
treatments was more or less efficacious, with the exception of interpersonal
psychotherapy (which was somewhat more efficacious; d = 0.20) and nondirective
supportive treatment (which was somewhat less efficacious than the other
treatments; d = 0.13). The drop-out rate was significantly higher in cognitive–
behavior therapy than in the other therapies, whereas it was significantly lower in
problem-solving therapy. This study suggests that there are no large differences in
efficacy between the major psychotherapies for mild to moderate depression.

The Past: Competing Models of Psychopathology

 Did you ever wonder why CBT cornered the market
on manuals and RCTs?

Organizing treatment around latent disorder constructs?
Packaged treatments rather than functional interventions?
“Evidence-based” as a reason not to need evidence?
 Was this strategic?
 Treatment-Patient matching research has mostly failed
 CBT and other treatments tend to tie meta-analytically
 Contemporary “CBT” is becoming unified
The Past: Competing Models of Psychopathology
Strengths of Learning and CBT perspectives
 Values straightforward, parsimonious explanations
 Intended to be efficient
 Notion of stepped care built in to treatment
 Flexible and responsive to evidence
 Focuses on functions
 Why did this person become depressed here and not there?
 What interventions seem to be helping, and to what degree?
The Past: Competing Models of Psychopathology
Limitations of “CBT”
 Focus on diagnosis and symptoms
 Essential functionalism was lost (temporarily?)
The virtue of behaviorism is its focus on why a person is doing
what they are doing

Experimental Evidence (Morrone-Stupinsky & Lane, 2007)
 Extraversion is comprised of agentic and affiliative components, which are
characterized by distinct positive emotional states of positive activation and
warmth-affection, respectively. This study examined these positive
emotions using the International Affective Picture System, a standardized
set of pictures used to induce emotion.
 Compared to response to neutral pictures, the following target emotions
were induced: (1) affiliative pictures induced warmth-affection and
pleasantness, (2) agentic pictures induced positive activation, pleasantness,
and arousal, (3) high arousal nonagentic pictures induced pleasantness and
arousal, and (4) low arousal nonaffiliative pictures induced pleasantness.
 Agentic picture-induced positive affective ratings were significantly related
to a trait measure of social potency, but not to other extraversion scales.
 The results support a multicomponent conceptualization of the
extraversion trait, where agentic and affiliative components are associated
with distinctive positive emotional experience.

Interpersonal Taxonomy: Therapeutic Tasks (Tracey, 1999)
The Future: DSM-5.1 and beyond
Interpersonal Taxonomy: Supervision (Tracey et al., 2012)
Parallel processes in supervision occur when (1) the therapist brings the
interaction pattern that occurs between the therapist and client into
supervision and enacts the same pattern but with the therapist trainee
in the client's role, or (2) the trainee takes the interaction pattern in
supervision back into the therapy session as the therapist, now enacting
the supervisor's role. We examined these processes in the interactions
of 17 therapy/supervision triads (i.e., supervisor, therapist/trainee, and
client). Each session was rated for dominance and affiliation, and the
similarity of these dimensions across equal status pairs (supervisortherapist and trainee-client) was examined. It was hypothesized that if
parallel process existed, there would be more similarity in dominance
and affiliation between equal status pairs in contiguous sessions than
would be true relative to general responses; the dominance and
affiliation would be more closely matched than would be expected given
general response tendencies. This was examined separately for each
supervision triad using single-case randomization tests.
The Future: DSM-5.1 and beyond
Interpersonal Taxonomy: Supervision (Tracey et al., 2012)
Significant results were obtained for each dyad
indicating the presence of parallel processes in each
supervision triad. Additionally, the relation between
parallel processes over the course of treatment and
client outcome was examined using hierarchical
Bayesian modeling. Results indicate that a positive
client outcome was associated with increasing
similarity of therapist behavior to the supervisor over
time on both affiliation and dominance (increasing
parallel process) and an inverted U pattern of highlow-high similarity of client behavior to trainee
behavior over time. This study provides support for the
existence of bidirectional parallel processes at the level
of interpersonal interaction.

Pushing it even further: A Clinical Example
 Formulation: desires warmth but expects coldness so
acts aloof, gets coldness back. Attachment anxiety +
temperamentally limited impulse control lead to
maladaptive behaviors including aggression and selfharm.
 Treatment Hypotheses:


Short term: Warmth on the part of the therapist will provide
comfort and will reinforce the patient’s warmth. Discussing and
planning more adaptive ways to cope with negative feelings will
reduce risk for self-harm and relationship problems.
Long-term: Focusing on painful affects associated with significant
developmental experiences will improve mentalization,
perceptual accuracy, affect regulation, maturity of defenses, and
functioning.
The Future: DSM-5.1 and beyond
Two Concluding Points
 Diagnosis is essentially the closest match of idiographic style with a
nomothetic concept or category.




But level of severity is still an essentially arbitrary clinical decision, which basically
amounts to ‘I think this person needs help’.
The DSM is a cover for the anxiety created by this responsibility.
In order to see the world more as it is, we are going to need to face the fact that this is
a value judgment more squarely.
The goal of taxonomy is to bridge the gap between researchers and
clinicians.



Diabetes Example
Currently clinicians go from idiographics to diagnosis but there is a lot in
between
There are advantages of filling this in:


Clinicians use more evidence-based models, can do more to tailor treatments to existing
research evidence, have an evidence based structure with which to select and organize
assessments
Researchers not constrained by categories that are not that useful, oriented towards clinically
important question
