Psychiatry 'bible' structure overhauled – CNN

Reflecting a new understanding of many mental illnesses, the proposed organization for the newest edition of the "bible" of psychiatry is now open for public comment at dsm5.org.

The American Psychiatric Association this week released its vision for the next Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM V). The updates incorporate insights from research since 1994,  the last time the manual was issued with substantial changes, the organization said. Publication of the DSM V is scheduled for 2013.
