Let me reach across my desk and get my copy of it. Yep its called the DSM-IVR.

It may be based on the diagnostic criteria listed in the DSM-IVR but its not the DSM-IVR. That's just a set of guidelines for diagnosis. What's more, as a whole its a compromise cobbled together by a set of committees. And we all know what committees are like, at least 6 legs and no brain. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
