No Joints: How Psychiatry Carves Up Nature

The latest dust-up about DSM

Just a note to say that I have a piece posted at double X on the latest dust-up about DSM-V. My topic is the blg-picture question, whether we can "carve nature at the joints." I'm reseaching a book-in-progress on diagnosis and its counterpart, normality, so there will be more notes along these lines. My prior entry on double X, also about diagnosis, focused on Sarah Palin and narcissism.
