Research Diagnostic Criteria

So when you apply this to the world of psychopathology, the finer paper listed 14 psychiatric disorders.

The RDC, the Research Diagnostic Criteria, published in 1978, a group led by Robert Spitzer, identified 25 psychiatric conditions.

When DSM-3 is published in 1980, just two years after the RDC is published, that paper, it lists 265 distinct psychiatric diagnoses.

So we go from- That's quite a change, isn't it? Or 25 validated conditions to 265.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Because, you know, the Goodwin-Gouzet psychiatric diagnosis series, it's great, right? It has all the information that uses that classical research diagnostic criteria format, but it's narrative.

And I think we have to come to a stark realization today that even the highly trained, educated, intelligent psychologists or psychiatrists in practice and training, they're not reading all that.
