St Georges Hospital Medical School, London The detail and scholarship of the two major psychiatric taxonomies, ICD-10 and DSM-IV, have made an invaluable contribution to classification in child and adolescent psychiatry. Nonetheless, persistent minority voices have challenged their applicability to clinical practice. We tentatively offer for discussion a new taxonomy which we believe complements existing paradigms and has more clinical relevance. It is multitheoretical and attempts to fill the gap that exists between the language of the helped and that of the helper. A series of vignettes is provided to illustrate the clinical application of the new taxonomy.
