The American Psychiatric Association is currently working on the
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. I am most
interested in how the revisions of this book are coming to be (the
process) - the influences and the effect of its content and how its
content has an effect on the public - the monetary influences, the
sources used, and the overall accuracy.
We speak to our students about Wikipedia etc. and the viability of
sources. I think there are bigger lessons here (facts)- in the DSM
revision process that could be valuable for use in the discussion of
viable sources, how sources are influenced and how the information can
effect and influence professionals and the public. I am most interested
in any ideas LM_NET readers might have on this topic and the evaluation
of sources in general.
