Rule out Anxious personality disorder Explanation: I believe that it is a question of differential diagnosis: the clinician plans to determine if the observed anxiety symptoms warrant a diagnosis of what the DSM-IV-TR calls Avoidant or Anxious personality disorder. For the differential diagnosis of Anxious personality disorder, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avoidant_personality_disorder#... In other words, it is possible to have an anxiety disorder without also having the related personality disorder. I think the clinician is indicating the need to further explore the patient's anxiety symptoms before making a final diagnosis. I'm translating "à clarifier" as "rule out." See, for example: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_a_diagnosis_known_as_a_rul... For a specifically psychological context for "rule-out," see slide 7 of the following PowerPoint file about the DSM: http://www.csun.edu/~gk45683/P610A - Lecture 1 - DSM-IV Stru... "Rule - Outs Suppose you assess a patient and believe a diagnosis is warranted; however, you do not have enough assessment data to confirm the diagnosis. However, to not diagnose this “hunch” would not communicate the clinical picture of the patient effectively. You may consider using a “rule-out” diagnosis: R/O in place of the actual diagnosis." |
