'''DSM''' stands for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the official handbook of mental disorder classification published by the [[American Psychiatric Association]]. The first DSM was compiled in 1952. The last major revision was DSM-IV published in 1994. Over time many changes in classification have occurred such as with [[homosexuality]]. Supporters of the DSM publications believe the works have changed to reflect ongoing changes in psychology whereas critics see political agendas helping to mold changes in content.
