The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (abbreviation: DSM) is a publication of works that classify psychiatric disorders. The DSM is created and published by the American Psychiatric Association.

Criticisms[edit | edit source]

There are a number of different criticisms that have been leveled against the DSM and its usefulness as a diagnostic manual.

Lack of Objective Analysis[edit | edit source]

The DSM does not require the use of objective analysis.

Questionable Pathologization[edit | edit source]

Homosexuality[edit | edit source]

The DSM-I and DSM-II classified homosexuality as personality disorders under abnormal sexual deviations.[1][2]

Transvestitism[edit | edit source]

Transvestism was classified in the DSM-I and DSM-II as a sexual deviation; while the subsequent iterations classify it as a paraphilic disorder.[1][2][3][4] This classification has garnered controversy from transvestites as they argue that classification associates transvestism with stigma and imply that transvestism is a mental disorder.

Sadism & Masochism[edit | edit source]

Sadism and masochism was classified in the DSM-I and DSM-II as a sexual deviation;[1][2] while the subsequent iterations classify them as a paraphilic disorder.[3][5][6] This classification has garnered criticism from BDSM practitioners for potential discrimination of general BDSM practitioners; there was no requirement for clinically significant impairment; and perpetuation of stigma around BDSM.[7] However, the DSM-5 introduced a criterion that Sexual Sadism and Masochism Disorder must cause clinically significant distress.[8]

Financial conflicts of interest[edit | edit source]

A large portion of the designing staff of the DSM-IV had received funding, in some method, from pharmaceutical companies.[9]

    This category is for individuals whose sexual interests are directed primarily toward objects other than people of the opposite sex, toward sexual acts not usually associated with coitus, or toward coitus performed under bizarre circumstances as in necrophilia, pedophilia, sexual sadism, and fetishism. Even though many find their practices distasteful, they remain unable to substitute normal sexual behavior for them. This diagnosis is not appropriate for individuals who perform deviant sexual acts because normal sexual objects are not available to them.
