Changes

Howdy.  I happen to have, due to my family's background, a copy of the DSM-5 (known in a colloquial and blasphemous way as "the Psychologist's Bible"), and the DSM-IV.  My mother was a former licensed chemical dependency counselor, and steadfast conservative, if you're curious.  I can provide official definitions of paraphililas from both versions.  I wouldn't even bring up this screwed-up topic if not for the fact that there has been a major change in what the ever-shifting liberal APA considers to be paraphilias between the DSM-IV and DSM-5.  Sadomasochism, voyeurism/exhibitionism, and even transsexuality have been removed.  The DSM-I had homosexuality as a paraphilia, and it should've stayed there.  If y'all think my insight about the APA's continuous shift to the left is worth a write-up, just give me a holler.
