Product Description:

The World Health Organization (WHO) is in the process of developing the 11th edition of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11). Part of this process includes replacing mental retardation with a more acceptable term to identify the condition. The current international consensus appears to be replacing mental retardation with intellectual disability. This manuscript briefly presents some of the issues involved in changing terminology and the constraints and conventions that are specific to the International Classification of Diseases.
