Summary

The systems or lists that make up diagnostic criteria proposed by both classical and modern authors, as well as the usual national or international classifications constitute diagnostic instruments which allow: 1), classification of patients into the most homogeneous groups possible, according to absent-present criteria; 2), research on the propensity for certain criteria to appear, and on their stability; 3), a polydiagnostic approach, not limited to any one reference diagnostic system; 4), a group of psychiatrists to establish the capacity to construct empirical criteria for diagnosis and diagnostic-differential criteria of one or several nosological entities. If this group of psychiatrists is notably representative of a certain country or set of countries, these criteria allow for means of validation of the very empirical criteria established, as well as of the systems and classifications that integrate the instrument used, with their points of agreement and disagreement; 5), the establishment of a correspondence between empirical criteria and conceptual criteria, with predictions as to the application and way of using a new classification or of proposed projects, from the overall perspective of an empirical-conceptual relationship.
