Abstract

Multiple systems for the diagnosis and classification of mental disorders have been developed today and the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD) is considered to be the key classification due to its global applicability. The latest, eleventh ICD revision (ICD-11) included significant general changes and changes relating to the diagnosis and classification of mental disorders. These are listed in the chapter describing mental disorders, the introduction of new diagnostic categories, partial integration of the dimensional approach into diagnostic categories, and the revised clinical descriptions and diagnostic guidelines. The aim of this paper is to address the most prominent changes introduced into the classification of mental disorders, with a specific review of personality disorders and disorders that were classified in the ICD-10 as neurotic, stress-related disorders and somatoform disorders, through the prism of a possible integration of the psychodynamic approach.
