DSM4............Life

[FireGuy]

OK, So I have been at a conference all week. The topics are focused on criminal behavior, serial killers, serial arsonist, serial you name it. I am sitting in class suffering from "death by powerpoint" when the instructor (ATF Agent) labels one of his arrestees as a "full blown DSM4". I immediately come back to life and interrupt him mid sentence and say "what did you call him and what does that mean?"

He goes on to say DSM4 is a psychiatric term used to describe the most sexually perverse individuals in existence. Of course I could not tell him why I found it all so amusing. Anyways, many of you may have already known that but I am sure it has enlightened a few as it did me.

That is funny and Ironic, learn something new everyday.....LOL

BTW, I mean no disrespect for DSM whatsoever. I just found it amusing cause I had always wondered what it stood for but never got around to asking him.

[Brown Ninja]

It all makes sense now

[jbm]

Let's wait for DSM.... lolol!

[CSAR]

DSM is one of the most comprehensive manuals on mental disorders. The thing is so thick and heavy, you could use it for a wrecking ball. I used the DSM III in my psycholinguistics course from several years back to investigate and identify common phrases, lexis, and errors in syntax within notes from serial killers.

Diagnostic &
Statistical
Manual of Mental Disorders
IV Edition

I can see the need/desire to do so, but that's profiling, that's wrong...
