ICD-11 Criteria for Stereotyped Movement Disorder (6A06)

Stereotyped movement disorder is characterised by the persistent (e.g., lasting several months) presence of voluntary, repetitive, stereotyped, apparently purposeless (and often rhythmic) movements that arise during the early developmental period, are not caused by the direct physiological effects of a substance or medication (including withdrawal), and markedly interfere with normal activities or result in self-inflicted bodily injury. Stereotyped movements that are non-injurious can include body rocking, head rocking, finger-flicking mannerisms, and hand flapping. Stereotyped self-injurious behaviours can include repetitive head banging, face slapping, eye poking, and biting of the hands, lips, or other body parts.

Exclusions:             

  • Tic disorders (8A05)
  • Trichotillomania (6B25.0)
  • Abnormal involuntary movements (MB46)

6A06.0       Stereotyped movement disorder without self-injury

This category should be applied to forms of Stereotyped movement disorder in which stereotyped behaviours markedly interfere with normal activities, but do not result in self-inflicted bodily injury. Stereotyped movement disorder without self-injury is characterised by voluntary, repetitive, stereotyped, apparently purposeless (and often rhythmic) movements that arise during the early developmental period, are not caused by the direct physiological effects of a substance or medication (including withdrawal), and markedly interfere with normal activities. Stereotyped movements that are non-injurious can include body rocking, head rocking, finger-flicking mannerisms, and hand flapping.

6A06.1      Stereotyped movement disorder with self-injury

This category should be applied to forms of Stereotyped movement disorder in which stereotyped behaviours result in self-inflicted bodily injury that is significant enough to require medical treatment, or would result in such injury if protective measures (e.g., helmet to prevent head injury) were not employed. Stereotyped movement disorder with self-injury is characterised by voluntary, repetitive, stereotyped, apparently purposeless (and often rhythmic) movements that arise during the early developmental period, are not caused by the direct physiological effects of a substance or medication (including withdrawal). Stereotyped movements that are self-injurious can include head banging, face slapping, eye poking, and biting of the hands, lips, or other body parts.

ADVOKATE: A Mnemonic Tool for the Assessment of Eyewitness Evidence

By
ADVOKATE: A Mnemonic Tool for Assessment of Eyewitness Evidence A tool for assessing eyewitness  ADVOKATE is a tool designed to assess eyewitness evidence and how much it is reliable. It requires the user to respond to several statements/questions. Forensic psychologists, police or investigative officer can do it. The mnemonic ADVOKATE stands for: A = amount of time under observation (event and act) D = distance from suspect V = visibility (night-day, lighting) O = obstruction to the view of the witness K = known or seen before when and where (suspect) A = any special reason for remembering the subject T = time-lapse (how long has it been since witness saw suspect) E = error or material discrepancy between the description given first or any subsequent accounts by a witness.  Working with suspects (college.police.uk)
