Synopsis
This book presents an operationalized psychodynamic approach to diagnosis, based on a multiaxial system. In this way it mediates between exclusively descriptive systems such as DSM IV and ICD-10 on the one hand and psychodynamic diagnoses on the other. The Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnostics (OPD) system is based on five axes: I = Experience of illness and prerequisites for treatment; II = Interpersonal relations; III Conflicts; IV = Structure; and V = Mental and psychosomatic disorders. It is this Vth axis that allows the OPD diagnosis to be related to the ICD-10 and DSM IV classifications. A diagnostic questionnaire simplifies the use of the OPD in practice. This ground-breaking book will thus be of interest to psychodynamically oriented psychiatrists and psychotherapists, physicians interested in psychosomatic medicine, and clinical psychologists.

Review
"OPD is a diagnostic system that successfully attempts a synthesis between descriptive and psychodynamic features, and respects the interaction between biological, psychodynamic, and psychosocial determinants of illness ... this contemporary synthesis of an evaluative process [...] should help the clinician, as well as facilitate the empirical evaluation of pathogenesis and treatment. We believe that OPD will be an important stimulus for resuscitating the restrictive and reductionist systems presently in vogue
