I think the DSM is an incredibly detailed piece of work that has made the diagnoses and treatment of mental illness much more exacting than it was previously. It is a very impressive book. While not perfect, it does work. It is a statistical evaluation of what has been observed empiracally. It makes no claims to describing etiologies. It leaves that to research ongoing. Let's see what the DSM V has to offer.
