RESUMEN Objetivo: Se diseñó un estudio con el objetivo de identificar si el género, la experiencia clínica y las actitudes personales de los clínicos influyen en su percepción de la criminalidad de conductas sexuales concretas, sus juicios sobre la responsabilidad criminal en evaluaciones forenses en presencia de un trastorno mental y con la necesidad de tratamiento para aquellos que tienen un trastorno parafílico de la CIE-11. Método: En un análisis secundario de los datos, se presentaron al azar viñetas con una descripción mínima (no cumple con los requisitos diagnósticos para un trastorno parafílico) y una descripción completa (cumple con los requisitos diagnósticos para un trastorno parafílico) de los patrones de excitación froteurismo, sadismo sexual coercitivo, exhibicionismo y conductas relacionadas de la CIE-11. Un total de 1,101 clínicos calificaron de una a tres viñetas (un total de 1,884) respondiendo a preguntas sobre el diagnóstico, las características criminales y sus propias actitudes. Resultados: Las guías diagnósticas de la CIE-11 fueron adecuadamente utilizadas por los clínicos para distinguir los trastornos parafílicos de los patrones de excitación no patológicos. La gravedad de la viñeta fue el predictor más importante para la determinación de los clínicos de que se había cometido un delito. Los resultados mostraron una interacción de la clasificación de los trastornos parafílicos, el género de los clínicos y las actitudes personales con los juicios sobre conceptos asociados con la criminalidad, la responsabilidad criminal en presencia de un trastorno mental y la necesidad de tratamiento en contextos de evaluación forenses. Conclusiones: Se requiere mayor educación formal, entrenamiento clínico sobre estos trastornos y guías de tratamiento basadas en evidencia para evitar sesgos que puedan provenir de ideas preconcebidas y actitudes personales. Se deben revisar las leyes y políticas que restringen innecesariamente el tratamiento de estos pacientes en entornos no forenses —por ejemplo, cuando el individuo sufre un patrón de excitación, pero no ha cometido ningún delito.

ABSTRACT Aim: This study aimed to identify whether clinicians' gender, clinical experience, and personal attitudes influenced their perception of criminality of specific sexual behaviours, their judgments about criminal liability if mentally disordered, and the need for treatment as part of criminal settings for those having ICD-11 paraphilic disorders. Method: In a secondary analysis of data only vignettes with the least (do not meet paraphilic disorder diagnostic requirements) and most extreme (met paraphilic disorder diagnostic requirements) descriptions of ICD-11 frotteuristic, coercive sexual sadism, and exhibitionistic arousal patterns and related behavior were randomly presented to participants. A total of 1,101 clinicians rated one to three vignettes (a total of 1,884) answering questions regarding diagnosis, criminal features, and their own attitudes. Results: The ICD-11 diagnostic guidelines were adequately used to distinguish paraphilic disorders from non-pathological arousal patterns.Vignette severity was the most important predictor for clinicians' determination that a crime was committed. Results showed an interaction of the classification of paraphilic disorders, clinicians' gender, and personal attitudes with judgments about concepts associated with criminality, criminal liability if a diagnosis was indicated, and the need for treatment in forensic settings. Conclusions: Increased formal education, clinical training about these disorders, and evidence-based treatment guidelines are required to avoid biases that may come from preconceived ideas and personal attitudes. Laws and policies that unnecessarily restrict the treatment of these patients in non-forensic settings—for example, when the individual is distress about the arousal pattern but no crime has been committed—should be examined.

Objective: To describe self-reported experiences of gender incongruence related to discomfort and body changes to be more congruent to the desired gender, and to examine whether experiences of psychological distress related to gender identity were more strongly related to the experience of gender incongruence per se or to experiences of social rejection. Methods: This field study used a structured interview design in a purposive sample of transgender adults (aged >18 years or older) receiving health-care services in two main reference centers in Brazil. Results: A high proportion of participants (90.3%, n=93) reported experiencing psychological distress related to their gender identity and report having experienced social rejection related to their gender identity during the interview index period and that rejection by friends was the only significant predictor for psychological distress. Conclusions: Gender incongruence variables were not significant predictors of distress. This result supports the recent changes proposed by the Word Health Organization in ICD-11 to move transgender conditions from the Mental and Behavioral Disorders chapter to a new chapter on Sexual Disorders and Conditions Related to Sexual Health.

Objective: Disorders characterized by “distressing unexplained somatic symptoms” are challenging. In the ICD-11 Primary Health Care (PHC) Guidelines for Diagnosis and Management of Mental Disorders (ICD-11 PHC), a new category, bodily stress syndrome (BSS), was included to diagnose patients presenting unexplained somatic symptoms. The present study investigated the association of BSS with anxiety, depression, and four subgroups of physical symptoms in a Brazilian primary health care (PHC) sample. Methodology: As part of the international ICD-11 PHC study, 338 patients were evaluated by their primary care physicians, followed by testing with Clinical Interview Schedule (CIS-R) and World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule, Version 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0). BSS was diagnosed in the presence of at least three somatic symptoms associated with incapacity. The association between anxiety, depression, and four subgroups of physical symptoms with being a BSS case was analyzed. Results: The number of somatic symptoms was high in the overall sample of 338 patients (mean = 8.4), but even higher in the 131 BSS patients (10.2; p < 0.001). Most BSS patients (57.3%) had at least three symptoms from two, three, or four subgroups, and these were associated with anxiety and depression in 80.9% of these patients. The symptom subgroup most strongly associated with “being a BSS” case was the non-specific group (OR = 6.51; 95%CI 1.65-24.34), followed by musculoskeletal (OR = 2,31; 95%CI 1.19-4.72). Conclusion: Somatic symptoms were frequent in a sample of PHC patients in Brazil. In the present sample, one third were BSS cases and met the criteria for at least two symptom subgroups, supporting the hypothesis that different functional symptoms are related to each other.

Résumé L'Organisation mondiale de la Santé est en train de mettre au point la 11e révision de la Classification statistique internationale des maladies et des problèmes de santé connexes (CIM-11), dont la publication est prévue pour 2017. Le Groupe de travail sur la Classification des troubles sexuels et de la santé sexuelle a été chargé d'examiner et de faire des recommandations sur les catégories de maladies liées à la sexualité dans le chapitre sur les troubles mentaux et comportementaux de la 10e révision (CIM-10) qui a été publiée en 1990. Ce chapitre comprend les catégories des diagnostics basés principalement sur l'orientation sexuelle même si la CIM-10 stipule que l'orientation sexuelle seule n'est pas un trouble. Cet article examine les données scientifiques et les raisons cliniques pour continuer à...

The World Health Organization is developing the 11th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-11), planned for publication in 2017. The Working Group on the Classification of Sexual Disorders and Sexual Health was charged with reviewing and making recommendations on disease categories related to sexuality in the chapter on mental and behavioural disorders in the 10th revision (ICD-10), published in 1990. This chapter includes categories for diagnoses based primarily on sexual orientation even though ICD-10 states that sexual orientation alone is not a disorder. This article reviews the scientific evidence and clinical rationale for continuing to include these categories in the ICD. A review of the evidence published since 1990 found little scientific interest in these categories. In addition, the Working Group found no evidence that they are clinically useful: they neither contribute to health service delivery or treatment selection nor provide essential information for public health surveillance. Moreover, use of these categories may create unnecessary harm by delaying accurate diagnosis and treatment. The Working Group recommends that these categories be deleted entirely from ICD-11. Health concerns related to sexual orientation can be better addressed using other ICD categories.

Resumen La Organización Mundial de la Salud está desarrollando la undécima revisión de la Clasificación Estadística Internacional de Enfermedades y Problemas Relacionados con la Salud (CIE-11), cuya publicación está planeada para el 2017. El Grupo de Trabajo sobre la Clasificación de Trastornos Sexuales y Salud Sexual fue encargado de revisar y hacer recomendaciones sobre estas categorías de enfermedades relacionadas con la sexualidad en el capítulo sobre trastornos mentales y del comportamiento en la décima revisión (CIE-10), publicada en 1990. Este capítulo incluye categorías para diagnósticos basadas principalmente en la orientación sexual, a pesar de que la CIE-10 afirma que la orientación sexual en sí misma no es un trastorno. Este artículo revisa las pruebas científicas y los fundamentos clínicos para continuar incluyendo estas categorías en la CIE. Una revisión de las pruebas publicada desde 1990 encontró poco interés científico en estas categorías. Asimismo, el Grupo de Trabajo no encontró pruebas de que fueran útiles clínicamente: no contribuyen a la prestación de servicios sanitarios ni a la selección de tratamientos. Tampoco proporcionan información esencial para la vigilancia de la salud pública. Además, el empleo de estas categorías podría ocasionar un daño innecesario al retrasar los diagnósticos precisos y el tratamiento. El Grupo de Trabajo recomienda que se eliminen totalmente estas categorías de la CIE-11. Los problemas de salud relacionados con la orientación sexual se pueden abordar mejor utilizando otras categorías de la CIE.

OBJETIVO: O objetivo do estudo foi examinar o papel do gênero no endosso dos sintomas incluídos tanto na Classificação Internacional de Doenças-10ª Edição quanto no Manual Diagnóstico e Estatístico de Transtornos Mentais-4ª Edição. MÉTODO: Seiscentos pacientes tratados por problemas ligados ao álcool em serviços ambulatórios de saúde no México foram avaliados com o Módulo sobre Abuso de Substâncias da Composite International Diagnostic Interview. RESULTADOS: A análise fatorial confirmatória com a Classificação Internacional de Doenças-10ª Edição e o Manual Diagnóstico e Estatístico de Transtornos Mentais-4ª Edição produziu dois fatores, que incluíram uma combinação de abuso/uso nocivo de álcool e sintomas de dependência, que explicaram 40% e 49,2% da variância total, respectivamente. No grupo de pacientes abuso/uso nocivo, os sintomas e as consequências sociais diferiram entre os gêneros: síndrome de abstinência, falta de controle e problemas jurídicos foram mais frequentes nos homens, enquanto as mulheres apresentaram maiores taxas de tentativas de abandonar o álcool e dificuldades para realizar atividades diárias. Fatores específicos de gênero diferenciaram abuso/uso nocivo da dependência, como a perda de controle e o tempo gasto para beber, no caso dos homens, e do desejo de beber entre as mulheres, de acordo com os critérios de dependência do Manual Diagnóstico e Estatístico de Transtornos Mentais-4ª Edição, e presença de sintomas físicos em homens, problemas sociais/família, e desejo e esforço fútil de parar de beber em mulheres, segundo o critério de dependência da Classificação Internacional de Doenças-10ª Edição. CONCLUSÃO: Futuros sistemas de classificação da toxicomania devem levar em conta as diferenças entre os sexos, a fim de ajudar a suprimir a lacuna de tratamento para as mulheres.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to examine the role of gender in the endorsement of symptoms included in both the International Classification of Diseases-10th Edition and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-4th Edition. METHOD: Six hundred patients treated for alcohol-related problems in outpatient services in Mexico were evaluated with the Substance Abuse Module of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview. RESULTS: Confirmatory factor analyses using the International Classification of Diseases-10th Edition and Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-4th Edition criteria produced two factors that included a combination of abuse/harmful alcohol use and dependence symptoms, which explained 40% and 49.2% of the total variance, respectively. In the abuse/harmful use groups of patients, symptoms and social consequences differed according to gender: withdrawal syndrome, lack of control and legal problems were more frequent in men, while women exhibited higher rates of attempts to give up alcohol and difficulties to accomplish daily activities. Specific gender-related factors differentiated abuse/harmful use from dependence, such as loss of control and time spent to drink in the case of men and desire to drink among women, according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-4th Edition dependence criteria; and presence of physical symptoms in men and family/social problems, craving, and futile effort to stop drinking in women, according to the International Classification of Diseases-10th Edition dependence criteria. CONCLUSION: Future classification systems of substance abuse disorders should take into account differences between genders in order to help closing the treatment gap for women.

In the context of the updating of the International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision (ICD-10), this study conducted a code-by-code comparison between the ICD-10 chapter "Mental and Behavioural Disorders" and the diagnostic categories of two Latin American classification schemes: the Third Cuban Psychiatric Glossary (GC-3) and the Latin American Guide to Psychiatric Diagnosis (GLADP). The objective was to help define what categories in the current classification should be broadened and what new categories might be added to the future ICD-11 to make it more applicable in local sociocultural and clinical contexts that differ from those found in regions whose perspectives have historically dominated the ICD, namely, the United States and Europe. It is hoped that the results will contribute to the efforts under way to develop a genuinely international classification system.

Dentro del marco del análisis de la décima revisión de la Clasificación Internacional de Enfermedades y Problemas de Salud Asociados (CIE-10), se realizó una comparación código a código entre las categorías diagnósticas de dos clasificaciones latinoamericanas -el Tercer Glosario Cubano de Psiquiatría (GC-3) y la Guía Latinoamericana para el Diagnóstico Psiquiátrico (GLADP)- y el capítulo de "Trastornos mentales y del comportamiento" de la CIE-10. El objetivo fue ayudar a definir qué categorías de la clasificación actual deberían ampliarse y qué nuevas categorías podrían añadirse a la futura CIE-11 para lograr una mayor aplicabilidad local en contextos socioculturales y clínicos distintos del estadounidense y del europeo, cuyas perspectivas han dominado la CIE históricamente. Se espera que el resultado contribuya a los esfuerzos que se están llevando a cabo para desarrollar un sistema clasificatorio que sea genuinamente internacional.
