“A classification is the reification of an ideological position, of an accepted stand of theory and knowledge. It means creating, defining or confirming boundaries of concepts. These in turn define ourselves, our future and our past…” (Sartorius, 1991).The 10th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10), Chapter Von Mental and Behavioral Disorders(World Healthorganization [WHO], 1992,1993), and the fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV; American PsychiatricAssociation, 1994) have been adapted tothe current clinical and scientific knowledge of mental disorders. Because ICD-10has adapted the primarily descriptive andcriteria-related approach from DSM-111, thegeneral structures of both classificationsare quite similar. However, complete congruency between ICD-10 and DSM-IV has not yet been reached.
