DSM-III的一些诊断的有效性仍然存在争议。 几个中心正在进行研究， 情境和交叉之间的诊断区别 情境性多动，以及强迫症 强迫症、亚临床强迫症和强迫性人格 disorder. 在英国，非常强调跨情境 多动（基于父母和教师行为评级）。 这 将使用24小时运动活动测量来验证区分 在伦敦和华盛顿的多动儿童和控制。 强迫症、亚临床强迫症、强迫性脑卒中的区分 正在评估：评价者间可靠性研究， 相关特征和家族研究，以及随访状态。

The validity of several DSM-III diagnoses remains controversial. Studies are underway across several centers addressing the validity of the diagnostic distinction between situational and cross situational hyperactivity, and between obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), subclinical OCD, and compulsive personality disorder. In the U.K., great emphasis is placed upon cross situational hyperactivity (based on parent and teacher behavior ratings). This distinction will be validated using 24-hour motor activity measure for hyperactive children and controls in London and Washington. The validity of the distinction between OCD, subclinical OCD, OCP is being assessed with: studies of interrater reliability, associated features and family studies, and follow-up status.
