Diagnosis within psychiatry involves the consideration of a number
of different features of mental state. In making a diagnosis,
individual psychiatrists inevitably accord differing importance to
certain features. By regulating the order and number of conditions
to be recorded, a multiaxial framework provides for internationally
comparable descriptions of mental state. This volume provides the
psychiatric sections of ICD10 in a form that is adapted for ease of
use of those dealing with mental disorders in childhood and
adolescence. Descriptions have been grouped into axes which have
been chosen to provide unambiguous information of maximum clinical
usefulness in the greatest number of cases. Building on the popular
original framework of four axes, the system has been greatly
improved by the inclusion of a new axis for psychosocial situations
and by the addition of a further sixth axis on adaptive level which
enables clinicians to code an individual's current level of
disability.
