Extract

So far there has been a failure in psychiatry to establish any really adequate and universally accepted classificatory systems. This failure has proved a stumbling block to effective research, it has often frustrated communication and has held back the development of scientifically based treatment methods. Even now there still lingers some controversy over the appropriateness of the use of any classification in psychiatry (Kessell, 1964).
