Abstract:
The influence of operationalized diagnostic systems is growing steadily in general and forensic psychiatry. This article discusses the historical context and the advantages and problems that may occur in the application of the new diagnostic systems. It is of special importance that the improvement of communication and reliability within psychiatry does not lead to an uncritical or even dogmatical understanding of the new diagnostic categories.
