    Psychiatric diagnoses lack reliability. The new Research Diagnostic Criteria (RDC) were developed to improve this, showing high reliability in initial studies for functional psychiatric disorders.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Clinical Psychology
    • Psychopathology

    Background:

    • Current psychiatric diagnostic procedures exhibit generally low reliability, impacting clinical practice and research.
    • This unreliability poses a significant challenge in psychiatric research, particularly in areas like genetics and treatment outcome studies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the development of specific diagnostic criteria for functional psychiatric disorders.
    • To report on the initial reliability of these newly developed criteria, known as the Research Diagnostic Criteria (RDC).

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a specific set of diagnostic criteria for a selected group of functional psychiatric disorders.
    • Conducting initial reliability studies to assess the consistency of diagnostic judgments made using these criteria.

    Main Results:

    • The developed criteria, the Research Diagnostic Criteria (RDC), are now widely utilized in various research areas.
    • Initial reliability studies demonstrated high reliability for diagnostic judgments when using the RDC.

    Conclusions:

    • The Research Diagnostic Criteria (RDC) offer a more reliable approach to diagnosing functional psychiatric disorders.
    • The high reliability of the RDC supports their continued use in psychiatric research, including studies on genetics, psychobiology, and treatment outcomes.
