Abstract
The shift from DSM-III-R to DSM-IV resulted in changes in the criteria for anxiety disorders in youth, although studies investigating cross-system agreement were unavailable. Forty clinic-referred children were diagnosed with a structured diagnostic interview to assess anxiety disorders using DSM-III-R and DSM-IV criteria. Diagnostic differences for each disorder under DSM-III-R and DSM-IV were found to be non-significant—indicating a high degree of agreement between the two systems. Modifications to the diagnostic categories and/or criteria for anxiety disorders of childhood and adolescence in DSM-IV do not seem to have interfered with the extent to which we can generalize from current and past research using DSM-III-R.
