description: Rethinking the DSM reflects the dissatisfaction of a growing number of mental-health professionals who question the DSM's lack of strong empirical foundations and who are confounded by its patchwork of vaguely defined disorders. Here, readers will find thought-provoking essays on alternative systems, including psychodynamic, narrative, and cognitive-biological. Rethinking the DSM will challenge readers to move away from conventional thinking and engage in continued dialogue and discussion about specific modifications and alternatives to the DSM.
