Should Social Workers Use "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5?"
Frances, Allen; Jones, K. Dayle
Research on Social Work Practice, v24 n1 p11-12 Jan 2014
Up until now, social workers have depended on the "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders" ("DSM") as the primary diagnostic classification for mental disorders. However, the "DSM-5" revision includes scientifically unfounded, inadequately tested, and potentially dangerous diagnoses that may lead them to question its integrity and to find alternatives.
