Abstract

The article analyzes the reasons for the opposition of a significant number of Russian psychiatrists to the introduction of a new international classification of mental and behavioral disorders (ICD-11). An opinion is expressed that the increase in the effectiveness of therapy from ICD-9 to ICD-10 in world psychiatry is associated not so much with the transition to syndromic (anosological) assessment of clinical phenomena, but because of the widespread use of modern psychopharmacological drugs and the introduction of evidence-based medicine principles, which in domestic psychiatry are also criticized. It is argued that two important aspects of psychiatry — diagnosis and therapy — are practically independent of each other, and the entire dispute about rejection or acceptance of the new classification (ICD-11) has nothing to do with the effectiveness of therapy.
