Description

This paper looks at the diagnosis of adjustment disorder (AD), its history as well as arguments for and against its continued use. AD is shown to fit in a special place in the taxonomy of psychiatric disturbances or difficulties people experience and this special position is both one of its strengths and one of the reasons it has been a frequently maligned diagnosis. Other strengths and weaknesses of the AD diagnosis are discussed as well the expected future growth and usefulness of the diagnosis in a variety of areas where it may be overlooked or under utilized today.
