WHO Classification Systems• WHO mandated health classification as a core
constitutional responsibility
• ICD is provides classification of diseases, both health and mental health, applicable to all member nations, including the United States
• Hospitals and other services, insurance companies use ICD as their primary classification system. The exception is psychiatry which uses the DSM
• Purpose is to have a shared language and tracking system of diseases, identification of effective interventions, and deployment of resources world-wide
-
WHO ICD-11
Mandated by World Health Assembly
Mental Health and Substance Abuse Department responsible for mental and behavioral disorders (Chapter 5)
Technical work to be completed 2013
WHO approval 2015
To be released 2018

WHO Objective to Advance Public Good
• ICD-11 is being developed with iterative input from stakeholders
• Will be a free and open resource
for global community
• Will be available on internet

DISCLAIMER
-
Clinical Utility is the Organizing Principle in ICD Classification Development
-
Consistent with clinicians mental health taxonomies
Symptoms in a diagnosis should be limited (3-5)
No Subtypes
Based on distinctions important for management and treatment
Characteristics of a Diagnostic System with Clinical Utility
Reed, 2010Prof Psych Res Prac, 457-464
-
ICD-11 PTSD
• Describe the disorder as a “fear condition”
• There are three core symptom clusters and all symptoms are directly linked to the traumatic event (s)
– Re-experiencing of the traumatic event(s) in the present accompanied by emotions of fear or horror
– Avoidance of traumatic reminders
– Sense of current threat that is manifest by excessive hypervigilance or an enhanced startle reaction.

Enduring Personality Changes as a Result of Catastrophic Events
ICD Personality Disorder: Disturbances in • Affective• Self • Interpersonal
Trait-like Characteristics • Persistent across time• Pervasive across different situations
ICD-11 Complex PTSD
-
ICD-11 Complex PTSD
To describe changes in self-organization that typically results from repeated or chronic exposure to traumatic stressors from which one cannot escape (childhood abuse, domestic violence, slave-trade, genocide campaigns).
Problems in Self-organization: - Categories followed those identified by ICD problems in the affect, self and interpersonal domains
Comorbidity of above disturbances with PTSD: DSM-IV data and following studies observed that overwhelming majority of individuals with the above types of problems also meet criteria for PTSD (94%)
-
ICD-11 Complex PTSD
PTSD
(Disturbances in Emotions): Affect Dysregulation – heightened emotional reactivity, violent outbursts, impulsive or reckless behaviors and dissociation (new)
( Distubances in Self) “Defeated/Diminished” Self marked by feeling diminished, defeated and worthless, feelings of shame, guilt, or despair (extends despair)
(Disturbances in Relationships) marked by difficulties in feeling close to others, having little interest in relationships or social engagement more generally. There may be occasional relationships but the person has difficulty sustaining them. (combines and extends detachment and social withdrawal)

Type of trauma is a risk factor not a requirement. Takes into account genetic and environmental factors:- Individuals with complex trauma histories may develop PTSD- Conversely, vulnerable individuals with a single adult onset trauma may develop CPTSD

Four tests of the validity of the two proposed disorders
1. Be measured = reflected in symptoms clusters
2. Describe different populations
3. Associate with different antecedents (trauma hx)
4. Associate with different levels of impairment

Future Directions and Innovations: Patient-Treatment Matching
• In collaboration with patient (patient-centered)
– Identify three top problems
• Match protocols to patient’s most important problems
• Or: match interventions to problems • Behavioral activation to depression
• Focused breathing to panic
• Soothing senses to emotion dysregulation
• Meaning making to trauma
