When it was first published in 1980, the Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Third Edition--univer-sally
known as DSM-III--embodied a radical new method for identifying
psychiatric illness. Kirk and Kutchins challenge the general
understanding about the research data and the pro-cess that led to
the peer acceptance of DSM-III. Their original and controversial
reconstruction of that moment concen-trates on how a small group of
researchers interpreted their findings about a specific
problem--psychiatric reliability--to promote their beliefs about
mental illness and to challenge the then-dominant Freudian
paradigm.
