comparison of four diagnostic systems for the diagnosis of somatization disorder
Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica, 1993Co-Authors: Kristinn Tomasson, David M Kent, William CoryellAbstract:This article compares the Feighner Criteria, the DSM-III Criteria for somatization disorder and a modified version of the proposed ICD-10 Criteria. Working with a data set collected from the charts of 250 patients considered likely to have unexplained somatic symptoms, the kappa statistic and percentage agreement was calculated. The kappa between the DSM-III and DSM-III-R Criteria is 0.93. Between the modified ICD-10 and DSM-III it was 0.71, but between Feighner and the modified ICD-10 it was 0.44. However, the different Criteria identify the same patient population based on mental co-morbidity and demographics. The authors suggest that the modified version of the proposed ICD-10 should be investigated further, as it can use data sets previously collected for assessments of somatization disorder.

the development of the Feighner Criteria a historical perspective
American Journal of Psychiatry, 2010Co-Authors: Kenneth S Kendler, Rodrigo A Munoz, George E MurphyAbstract:AbstractThis essay outlines the historical context in which the Feighner Criteria emerged; reconstructs, as far as possible, the process by which the Criteria were developed; and traces the influence the Criteria had on subsequent developments in American psychiatry. In the 1950s, when American psychiatry under psychoanalytic dominance had little interest in psychiatric diagnosis, Edwin Gildea recruited to the Department of Psychiatry at Washington University faculty who advocated a medical model for psychiatry in which diagnosis had a central role. In 1967, at the urging of the then-resident John Feighner, a discussion group led by Eli Robins and including Sam Guze, George Winokur, Robert Woodruff, and Rod Munoz began meeting with the initial goal of writing a review of prior key contributions to psychiatric diagnosis. In their meetings over the next year, the task soon shifted to the development of a set of new diagnostic Criteria. For three diagnoses, major depression, antisocial personality disorder, ...

problem of diagnosis in postmortem brain studies of schizophrenia
American Journal of Psychiatry, 1996Co-Authors: Christine Hill, Nicholas A Keks, Susan Roberts, Kenneth Opeskin, Brian Dean, Andrew Mackinnon, David L CopolovAbstract:Obiective : The purpose of this study was to determine 1) the reliability of diagnoses of schizophrenia at coronal autopsy and 2) the degree to which the use of different diagnostic instruments for schizophrenia would affect postmortem brain research. Method : Eighty-three subjects, recorded at coronal autopsy as having had schizophrenia, were referred for neuro-chemistry studies. The diagnoses reported to the state coroner's office were reevaluated by a review of psychiatric case histories by clinicians using semistructured assessment and diagnostic Criteria. Results : The application of DSM-III-R, Research Diagnostic Criteria (RDC), ICD-10, Schneiderian, and Feighner Criteria to the diagnosis of the 83 subjects revealed that 63.9%, 48.2%, 48.2%, 43.4%, and 42.2%, respectively, met the Criteria for schizophrenia. Highest concordance was between the RDC and ICD-10 systems, while lowest concordance was between the RDC and Schneider systems. Conclusions : These data suggest that unless carefully reviewed, diagnosis may be a major confounding factor in postmortem studies ofbrain tissue from subjects with schizophrenia.
