Reprint of a 1992 text in which Kirk (social welfare U. of California, Berkeley) and Kutchins (social work, California State U., Sacramento) critique the development and widespread use of the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Third Edition (1980)--DSM- III--which became the official "bible" for categorizing mental disorders. The authors present an unconventional interpretation of the circumstances, activities, and research that produced a revolutionary change in the way mental health professionals approach mental illness, and challenge the generally accepted understanding about the research data and process that led to DSM-III.
