  • Title: An empirical comparison between the DSM and psychodynamic approaches for assessment of child disorders in children attending outpatient clinics.
    Author: Valla JP, Bergeron L, Gaudet N, Reydellet C, Boulanger M.
    Journal: J Child Psychol Psychiatry; 1994 Nov; 35(8):1409-18. PubMed ID: 7868636.
    Abstract:
    The DSM and psychodynamic approaches provide different perspectives on child psychiatric diagnoses. Taking advantage of the recent publication of a psychodynamically oriented classification of child disorders, correspondences between these approaches were studied in a sample of outpatient clinic children. Clinician judges and a psychiatric interview schedule provided for diagnoses. Classifications of child psychopathology are still imperfect to a large extent. As a result, statistical comparisons can only yield limited relationships and caution is necessary when using classification tools. Methodological difficulties notwithstanding, various associations showed that DSM and psychodynamic constructs, while different, are not entirely independent.
