Several approaches to computerized psychiatric diagnosis (Bayesian probability, linear discriminant function, and logical decision tree) have been used in the past. Recently, however, computer programs have been developed to make DSM-III diagnoses. DSM-III's explicit criteria aid development of such programs, while DSM-III's complexity allows such programs to be clinically useful. Common characteristics of these programs are feature that help to structure and shorten the user's interaction with the program. Examples of structuring aids include screening questions and incorporation of DSM-III's decision trees for differential diagnosis. These programs also include features that help users learn about DSM-III. The potential for such programs, as well as reasons why they may not be fully accepted, are discussed. |
