DSM-III diagnosis and code types of the diagnostic inventory of personality and symptoms in public hospital settings

Abstract

ZIZ of the American Psychiatric Association (DSM-111) were explored for public hospital patients (N = 448). Nineteen DIPS code types that relate code types to Axis I diagnoses are prepared. The three DIPS personality disorder cluster scales and the eight combinations thereof are presented as well. Eight of the personality disorder cluster scale code types that relate to DSM-I11 Axis I1 categories are identified. Finally, a narrative summation of each of the code types is given.
