Changes in Child and Adolescent Disorders, Eating Disorders, and the Multiaxial System
Abstract
It is not easy to summarize the many years of work involved in the development of DSM-IV. Of all of the different aspects of this effort, however, most remarkable has been the generous help ofan astonishing number of individuals.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank some of them: the authors of the columns that have constituted this series, which began publication in May 1990; the readers of the column who have taken the time to forward their comments, suggestions, and advice; the members of and advisors to the 13 DSM-IV work groups and the DSM-IV task force who have volunteered tremendous amounts of their time; the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the National Institute of Mental Health, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, which have supported the DSM-IV data reanalyses and field trials; the staff at the American Psychiatric Association who have given so generously to this project; and Hospital and Community Psychiatry, for giving us a forum in which we could share the progress of our efforts.
