Chronic Pain in the ICD-11: New Diagnoses That Clinical Psychologists Should Know About.

Authors

Barke A, Korwisi B, Rief W

Abstract

In the 10th revision of the International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10), chronic pain was not represented adequately. Pain was left undefined and not recognized as a biopsychosocial phenomenon. Instead, a flawed dualism between psychological and somatic factors was implied. Individual diagnoses were ill-defined and scattered randomly through different chapters. Many patients received diagnoses in remainder categories devoid of meaningful clinical information.
