  Sohan Lal Sharma, Ph.D.
This paper attempts to examine: 1) the social and historical role of the "institutions" from which the concepts of nosology developed; 2) the logic of nosology in the context of psychiatry, and finally; 3) the meaning and utility of nosology in clinical practice.
One authority in nosology and diagnosis, for example, has recently written: --- there may be more to mental disorder than this externally observable deviant -- it may be a hereditary basis, or it may develop as a result of trauma producing experiences very early in life or perhaps even in intrauterine existence (Zubin, 1966).
Therefore, nosology and diagnosis in psychiatry and psychology are, at best, social-judgmental acts of attaching a label to behavior (Szasz, 1959); at worst, such classification may be a moral indictment of an individual and his way of life in a given social situation.

 BETWEEN NOSOLOGY AND NARRATIVE WHERE SHOULD WE BE?
You may say that I have spent a long time on nosology and that this is odd, since my story began with my own bewilderment about the fact that in spite of my own trajectory and position as someone employed to think theoretically, I did not myself think in those terms.
My defence of speaking at length about nosology and psychopathology, in addition any intrinsic interest my story may have, is, quite precisely, to draw your attention to the fact that most analysts and psychoanalytic therapists do not spend their time, except, I suppose, when filling out forms for funding agencies, thinking in those terms.
Nosology and Narrative, like noumenon and phenomenon, are theoretical extremes: we live and do our work in the space between them.

 Measuring diagnoses: ICD code accuracy Health Services Research - Find Articles
Nosology (the systematic classification of diseases) has always fascinated the sick and their would-be healers.
Western societies developed an interest in nosology in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries when they began to track the causes of sickness and death among their citizens.
Increased attention to code accuracy has occurred both as a result of the application of ICD codes for purposes other than those for which the classifications were originally designed as well as because of the widespread use for making important funding, clinical, and research decisions.

Nosology is usually defined as the science of the classification of diseases.
Since nosological discussions usually involve symptoms, syndromes, disorders, and injuries, as well as diseases, it would be more appropriate to define nosology as the science of the classification of diagnostic terms, that is, the taxonomy of diagnostic terms.
Nosology is usually distinguished from nosography, which is the science of the description of diseases.

Although the DSM-IV and its predecessors create a nosology that serves the clinical needs of rapid decision-making and communication, it is somewhat problematic for research purposes, which requires a dimensional system that utilizes differential scores on several parameters simultaneously, is predominantly empirical, and can be successfully administered and processed by computer.
There is continuing evidence that categorical nosologies are insufficient in capturing important distinctions among alcoholics and they demonstrate poor sensitivity in adolescents (Martin et al., 1995).
