This book is about the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (D.S.M.). The D.S.M. aims to list and describe all mental disorders, and is extremely influential in the US health system, international research and the pharmaceutical industry.

The author sheds new light on longstanding problems, taking a critical but not antagonistic approach. Read more
