Abstract
Up until now, social workers have depended on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) as the primary diagnostic classification for mental disorders. However, the DSM-5 revision includes scientifically unfounded, inadequately tested, and potentially dangerous diagnoses that may lead them to question its integrity and to find alternatives.
