Talk:Adjustment disorder

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Copy vio?

The section on Diagnostic Criteria for Adjustment Disorders appears to be stolen from:

   http://www.behavenet.com/capsules/disorders/adjdis.htm

or from that page's primary source: Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth Edition. Copyright 1994 American Psychiatric Association. Jarich 06:30, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

I totally didn't finish the citations (I was going to do it later), I was going to cite the book that they got it from (The DSM) for the diagnostic criteria, not behavenet. Is it still a copyright violation to directly quote a book if I would've cited it? The Man o Steel (talk) 00:04, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removed diagnostic criteria

The criteria refer to things like Axis I or Axis II disorders without context. Since I'm fairly certain these were just copied directly from either the link above or behavenet, I don't feel this section belongs on this page. Jarich 13:01, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Remove the whole thing? Shouldn't somebody just write a page on Axis I and II disorders? Wouldn't it be preferable that what an Axis I and II disorders are should be added, rather than getting rid of the references to them? The Man o Steel (talk) 00:04, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Can anyone make sense of this sentence?

I would edit it but don't what I would change it to.

"Stressors thought to involve a loss are thought to have particular significance like an interpersonal failure, physical or sexual abuse, cognitive impairment, a lengthy duration of frequent recurrence, or cognitive uncertainty."

Is the list of examples a list of "stressors thought to involve a loss," or are they examples of what could happen as a result of the concomitant "particular significance"? That is, are they examples or effects of perceived losses?
