title: [Classification of mental disorders--a conceptual framework for the ICD-11].
abstract: The World Psychiatric Association (WPA) and World Health Organization (WHO) are currently engaging in the revision of the International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10). Polish Psychiatric Association (PPA) is participating in that process and the first step was an international survey of Polish psychiatrists expressing their experiences and concepts about the new ICD-11. The mission is to produce an international classification that is up to the contemporary challenge, is ready for electronic health records, serves as a standard for scientific comparability and facilitates communication in psychiatry. This is the review of works currently underway, including PPA members' tasks and efforts, regarding ICD-10 revision.
