Abstract
In the revision process leading up to DSM-V and ICD-11, it is important to highlight both similarities and differences between the two classifications. Where irreconcilable conceptual differences are involved, these should be stated in a manner inviting future research to elucidate the advantages and disadvantages of alternative concepts or definitions. Eventually, both DSM-V and ICD-11 will need to be assessed against a set of benchmarks of validity and utility.
