Background
After its redefinition in ICD-11, adjustment disorder (AjD) comprises two core symptom clusters of preoccupations and failure to adapt to the stressor. Only a few studies investigate the course of AjD over time and the definition of six months until the remission of the disorder is based on little to no empirical evidence. The aim of the...
ICD-11 includes a new definition of Adjustment disorder (AjD). The present study aims to
examine interrater reliability, internal consistency, and construct validity of a new diagnostic interview module assessing ICD-11 AjD. Data from two studies, that applied a standardized diagnostic interview assessment (DIA-X/M-CIDI and DIA-X-5) were used. To i...
The Adjustment Disorder – New Module 20 (ADNM-20) was developed for the assessment of adjustment disorder symptoms. The aim of the present study was to translate and conduct psychometric testing of the Chinese version of the ADNM-20. The English version was translated into traditional Chinese in an iterative process with an expert panel of mental h...
As part of the trauma and stress-related disorders’ category, adjustment disorder is a frequently occurring mental disorder that develops after stressful life events. Preoccupation and failure to adapt are the core symptoms of adjustment disorder in ICD-11. As this is a new definition, we conducted a large-scale study to gain a deeper understanding...
Die Anpassungsstörung gilt als Verlegenheitsdiagnose und wurde aufgrund diverser Validitätsprobleme lange Zeit kontrovers diskutiert. Ein neues Störungskonzept im ICD-11 soll den bekannten Schwierigkeiten entgegentreten. Zum ersten Mal werden spezifische Symptome für die Anpassungsstörung definiert.
In line with the new conceptualization of adjustment disorder (AjD) in the 11th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD‐11), a new 20‐item self‐report questionnaire was developed and validated – the Adjustment Disorder–New Module (ADNM). However, such a long research tool has the potential to become problematic for use in epid...
Most studies into the role of religiousness in relation to depression severity have mainly found an inverse relationship between greater religiousness and lower levels of depressive symptoms. There is reason to assume that religiousness has a buffering effect on the relationship between stressful life events and depressive symptoms. The aim of this...

Anpassungsstörungen sind ein in der Praxis häufig vorkommendes Störungsbild, das in sinnvoller Weise die Trauma- und Belastungsfolgestörungs-Diagnosen ergänzt. In der ICD-
11 werden neu Präokkupationen und Fehlanpassung als Kernsymptome der Anpassungsstörung als diagnostische Kriterien gefordert. Die Revision dieser diagnostischen Kategorie war Anl...
Background: In this paper, we aimed to examine the patterns of sleep disturbance in adjustment disorder (AD) and depressive episode (DE), to examine the variables associated with sleep disturbance in AD and DE and associated impairment in functioning. Methods: This is a multi-centre case-control study of 370 patients: 185 patients with AD and 185 p...
Background: Prolonged grief disorder (PGD) is a new disorder included in the WHO International Classification
of Diseases 11th version (ICD-11). This study is the first to use these new ICD-11 PGD guidelines to examine
prevalence rates, predictors of PGD and disorder co-occurrence with other stress-related disorders in a survey of
544 bereaved Isra...
Objectives: Adjustment disorder (AD) is a frequent diagnosis in clinical practice worldwide. After long neglect in mental health research, the new DSM definition and in particular the ICD-11 model of AD is about to create a fresh impulse for research on AD and for refined clinical use of the diagnosis.
Methods: This paper outlines the clinical feat...
Background/Objective: The 11th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) will provide a new definition of adjustment disorder (AjD). The aim of the present study is to report on prevalence and correlates of ICD-11 AjD in a high-risk sample. Method: Three hundred thirty persons who had lost their job involuntarily were sample...
In line with ICD-11 new conceptualization of Adjustment disorder (AjD), a self-report Adjustment Disorder-New Module (ADNM) was developed and validated. Nevertheless, the ADNM-20 is a long research tool and potentially problematic in the use in epidemiological and clinical studies. The present study introduces the brief ADNM-8 and the ultra-brief A...
Adjustment disorders (AjDs) usually resolve after the precipitating life event and its consequences are terminated. However, they bear the risk for the development of severe mental illness. The present study investigates the natural course of AjD as defined for International Classification of Diseases, 11th version (ICD-11). A total of 303 individu...
Background: A new diagnostic concept of Adjustment Disorder (AjD) was proposed for inclusion in the International Classification of Diseases, 11th version (ICD-11). However, the symptom structure of AjD is poorly understood. The aim of the present study was to investigate the dimensionality of AjD as a stress-response syndrome.
Methods: A general...
Background: Adjustment disorder (AjD) was redefined for ICD-11 with core symptoms of preoccupation with a stressor and failure to adapt. The socio-interpersonal framework model for stress-response syndromes suggests that interpersonal factors, besides intraper-sonal processes, substantially contribute to the development of AjD.
Objective: The curr...
Adjustment disorder (AjD) describe exaggerated responses to psychosocial stressors. For ICD-11, the proposed core symptoms are preoccupation, failure to adapt, and significant impairment in functioning, which represents a major shift in the description of the disorder. The present cumulative dissertation collects systematic evidence for the validit...
Background: Adjustment disorder (AjD) is one of the most used mental disorder diagnoses among mental health professionals. Important revisions of the AjD definition in the 11th edition of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) are proposed. AjD is included in a chapter of disorders specifically associated with stress in ICD-11.
Objec...
In preparation for ICD-11, the adjustment disorder (AjD) diagnosis has undergone considerable revisions; however, the latent structure of AjD remains uncertain. It is unclear whether AjD is best represented as a unidimensional or multidimensional construct. This study performed a comprehensive assessment of the latent structure of AjD symptomatolog...
Background:
Adjustment disorder (AjD) is a transient mental health condition emerging after stressful life events. Its diagnostic criteria have recently been under revision which led to the development of the Adjustment Disorder--New Module 20 (ADNM-20) as a self-report assessment.
Objective:
To identify a threshold value for people at high risk...
Anpassungsstörungen sind eine häufig genutzte, wissenschaftlich bisher aber umstrittene Diagnose. Bereits mit dem DSM-5, verstärkt aber mit dem IDC-11 zeichnet sich eine verbesserte wissenschaftliche Fundierung und Validierung dieser Diagnose ab. Nach Abschnitten zur Epidemiologie und Ätiopathogenese liegt der Schwerpunkt der Darstellung auf der Di...
Louisa Lorenz beschäftigt sich in dieser Arbeit mit der Konstruktvalidität, der Reliabilität und den Schwellenwerten eines im Rahmen neuer Entwicklungen in der Diagnose von Anpassungsstörungen entstandenen Fragebogens, dem Adjustment Disorder – New Module 20 (ANDM-20). Die Autorin zeigt, dass in allen Bereichen zufriedenstellende Ergebnisse erzielt...
Konflikte in der Familie, Trennungen, Stress am Arbeitsplatz oder das Versterben einer nahestehenden Person sind alles Erfahrungen, die nahezu jeder Mensch in sei-nem Leben einmal macht. Es gibt viele Belastungen, die einem Menschen eine ge-wisse Anpassung an veränderte Lebensumstände abverlangen. Dabei gibt es Perso-nen, denen eine Anpassung eher...
