MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK

Main description:

This book critically evaluates the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). Through analysis of the history of psychiatric diagnosis and of the handbook itself, it argues that the DSM-5 has a narrow biomedical approach to mental disorders, and proposes a new contextualizing model of mental health symptoms.


Contents:

1. Dynamics of Decision Making in the DSM: the Issue of Reliability 2. Context and Diagnosis in the DSM: the Issue of Validity
