Remember what the DSM stands for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual - its a 
document that's a committee compromise (actually about 20 committees) with 
representation mostly from psychiatrists under the American Psychiatric 
Association.

The DSM-IVR does not suggest treatment. Only if the client fits certain 
diagnostic categories, they are classified into certain categories. And quite a 
few fit into my "Huh?" classification - in other words you've got to be 
kidding, such as undifferentiated oppositional disorder.

Moreover it really doesn't identify everything that's needed to cure a problem. 
That's simply impossible. What it does do is provide a minimally necessary 
diagnosis that will satisfy insurance, Medicare or government providers. For 
instance where are the prescribed treatments for drug addiction in the DSM-IVR?
