I thought this article was very interesting

There's also an online article by the same
authors here:

Subject: DSM-IV Criticisms


  
Hi Tipsters,
                I've been asked to do a one-hour presentation of the
DSM-IV to a group of community counsellors. They are all somewhat
familiar with the book of course, but they would like more info on its
organization, usage, and criticisms.

I'd like to know if anyone out there knows of a good source I could use
to help in the preparation of this presentation, especially with regards
to criticisms of the DSM (pitfalls, shortcomings, biases, etc). I'd also
like to include a section on how different diagnostic categories are
brought in or taken out.

Any sources would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

Jean-Marc

One of my students sent me this link.  This is the kind of "fun"
psychology my students are always sending me, and it /is/
entertaining, if not particularly scientific.

      
The professor is same one referenced in the
book BLINK.
