Diagnosises, which are bull (articles in Danish)A number of researchers have analyzed what they call empty labels. Some of those are mentioned to be:
*Self-Defeating Personality Disorder (SDPD) (Was redrawn in DSM-IV)
*Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)
They recommend reading Herbert Kutchins's book
The Selling of DSMThey even state that labelling someone with the diagnosis "Borderline Personality Disorder" is just because you as a therapeut think that the person is annoying.
But European therapeuts are worried. In Europe ICD-10 is used instead of the DSM-system, but they are working on creating a common version of both systems with the ICD-11 in 2012. Some of these non-useful diagnosises could end up in ICD-11 like Internet Addiction Disoder.
