Description

Discover how the DSM-III transformed American psychiatry in this comprehensive account from Oxford University Press. Published in 1980, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual represented a revolutionary shift in psychiatric practice, emerging from the American Psychiatric Association's ambitious 1973 decision to create a revised diagnostic framework. This book traces the development of DSM-III during a turbulent era when psychiatry faced sustained attacks from the anti-psychiatry movement. The Making of DSM-III documents the historic clash between the Task Force championing descriptive diagnostic approaches and competing professional factions, revealing how scientific rigour and institutional conflict shaped modern psychiatric classification. Essential reading for understanding how this landmark manual established new standards for psychiatric diagnosis and fundamentally altered the landscape of clinical psychology and mental health treatment in America.

Key Features

The Making of DSM-III provides detailed insight into the 1980 publication that revolutionised American psychiatric diagnosis and clinical practice.

Oxford University Press examines the 1973 decision by the American Psychiatric Association to undertake a comprehensive manual revision during the anti-psychiatry movement.

This book documents the historic tensions between the DSM-III Task Force and competing psychiatric factions over diagnostic methodology and scientific authority.

Ideal for medical students, psychologists, psychiatrists and healthcare professionals seeking to understand the evolution of modern diagnostic standards.
