AB  - Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) is a single measure of overall 
      psychosocial impairment caused by mental factors, constituting Axis V of the 
      Diagnostic and Statistical manual of Mental disorders, third and fourth versions. 
      Despite its widespread use, several challenges and shortcomings have been 
      discussed the last three decades. The current article describes some of the more 
      serious challenges of the GAF manual, and presents a revised version more in 
      accordance with the nature of this clinical construct. Some crucial aspects of 
      the understanding of GAF and general guidelines for scoring are also discussed.
