Organic mental disorders--an American perspective

ZJ Lipowski

The new American psychiatric classification (DSM-III) features a radically new approach to organic mental disorders. The concept of organicity has been liberalised to allow inclusion of psychiatric correlates of cerebral disorders which not only fail to involve cognitive impairment but in some cases also resemble affective, paranoid, and schizophrenic disorders. The highlights, and implications of the new approach are discussed.
