第5版《精神疾病诊断和统计手册》(DSM)包括了一类新的强迫症及相关障碍(OCRD)，其中包括强迫症(OCD)和其他几种假定相关的疾病。尽管这一新的类别承诺提高人们对未被认识和研究不足的问题的认识，但这一新的需求侧管理类别的经验有效性和实用价值值得怀疑。这篇文章批判性地检查了新的OCRD类别背后的论点，阐明了这一类别的一些问题，然后讨论了对临床医生和研究人员的影响。
The 5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) includes a new class of obsessive-compulsive and related disorders (OCRDs) that includes obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and a handful of other putatively related conditions. Although this new category promises to raise awareness of underrecognized and under-studied problems, the empirical validity and practical utility of this new DSM category is questionable. This article critically examines the arguments underlying the new OCRD class, illuminates a number of problems with this class, and then discusses implications for clinicians and researchers.
