Area of Science:

Purpose:

  • To review the Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual (PDM).
  • To highlight the PDM's psychoanalytically-based foundations and conceptual ideas.
  • To delineate critical differences between the PDM and the DSM-IV-R.

Summary:

  • The PDM's Part I classifies adult mental health disorders based on personality patterns, functioning, and subjective symptom experience.
  • Part II addresses child and adolescent mental health disorders.
  • Part III compiles research supporting a psychodynamically informed classification system.
