Own the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), Tip #61

The most current version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), the DSM-5, was published by the American Psychiatric Association in 2013.  The DSM-IV-TR was published in 2000.  Before that, the DSM-IV was published in 1994.  Moreover, when you are reading a psych report, find the area in the report where the doctor stated which version of the DSM they used in arriving at their diagnostic conclusions.  It is also strongly recommended that you take a copy of the DSM to the cross-examination and display that manual in a prominent position.  As of this writing, some electronic copies of the DSM are available on the Internet for as little as $0.99.
