Has the DSM Failed?| Chapter 13 | Current Practice in Medical Science Vol. 9

 By causing diagnostic ambiguity across diagnoses, the DSM's consensus-driven and theoretical diagnostic classification system has grown increasingly difficult to integrate into clinical practise. It has also not adequately taken into account decades of aetiology study to help with diagnostic clarity. Contrary to long-standing clinical training traditions, it instructs physicians to utilise algorithmic/iterative methods of diagnosis. Academic institutions in the United States are now largely dependent on the DSM. This makes it a contradictory barrier to a true understanding of psychiatric problems and how to treat them.
