The DSM wasfirst created in 1952 and is now in its fifth “edition” (revision of a book that hasbeen published multiple times).The DSM “standardizes” (makes the same) “diagnoses” (a doctor’s assessmentof what is wrong with a patient) for psychiatric “disorders” (health problems).Specifically, the DSM “classifies” (groups by related types) mental disorders,presents their characteristics, and “assigns” (names) “codes” (strings of numbersand/or letters) to each disorder. This allows psychiatrists, researchers, insurers,and others to share information about a patient’s diagnosis and treatment quicklyand easily.Some people “criticize” (say bad things about) the DSM because it classifiesmental disorders based on their “symptoms” (how a condition affects one’s bodyor behavior) instead of the “causes” (what makes something happen) of thedisorder. Other people say that the DSM has a “cultural bias” such that thediagnoses do not “account for” consider expectations of behavior for people fromother cultures. The most recent edition has been criticized for “medicalizingnormality” (viewing normal behavior as a medical problem) and increasing thelikelihood that more people will use psychiatric drugs.“Despite these criticisms” (even thought these negative things are being said),the DSM “remains” (continues to be) an important tool for psychiatrists in theirwork with patients, colleagues, and health system administrators.______________Comprehension Questions Correct Answers: 1 – c; 2 – b4These materials are copyrighted by the Center for Educational Development (2014).
