It is currently being revised - a critical matter overall for what is considered 'normal' and 'abnormal', and what sorts of behaviours are considered as needing to be treated or medicated. http://articles.latimes.com/2008/dec/29/nation/na-mental-disorders29 see discussion on http://www.bilerico.com/2008/05/uh_oh.php ________________End of message________________ This Disability-Research Discussion list is managed by the Centre for Disability Studies at the University of Leeds (www.leeds.ac.uk/disability-studies).
