Abstract

In article theoretical, methodological and practical problems of diagnostics of mental and behavioural disorders during a postmodernism era are analyzed. The role of phenomenological and psychometric approaches is estimated. The conclusion that classification of mental and behavioral disorders (ICD and DSM) leads to washing out of borders between mental and behavioral norm and pathology is drawn.
