AB The  diagnostic  formulation  summarizes  and  integrates  relevant  issues  from  the  biopsychosocial,  developmental,  and  temporal  axes.  The  biopsychosocial  axis  refers  to  multiple  systems,  from  molecular  to  sociocultural,  that  interact  constantly  and  are  manifest  in  current  objective  behavior  and  subjective  experience.  The  developmental  axis  is  applied  to  different  levels  of  the  biopsychosocial  axis  in  order  to  determine  whether  each  level  is  developmentally  normal,  delayed,  advanced,  or  deviant.  The  temporal  axis  refers  to  the  ontogenesis  of  the  individual  from  his  or  her  origins  to  the  present  and  beyond.
