| Abstract: |
In October 2011, the Open Letter to the DSM-5 was posted as an online petition at http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/dsm5/. To the surprise of its authors, the petition garnered the endorsements of over 15,000 individuals and over 50 professional organizations, including 15 additional divisions of the American Psychological Association. It is here reproduced in print for the first time. For more details on the history of the Open Letter, see Robbins, Kamens, and Elkins (2017) in this special issue. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
