Yes we believe the DSM is needed. nfletcher0104 https://padlet.com/nfletcher0104/998nb9htr4nx/wish/222526248 We agree that the DSM is needed to help guide mental health professionals to diagnose mental disorders, despite its flaws, and that there is always room to improve. It provides a set standard for everyone to follow, as well as specific criteria for each disorder listed.]]> 2018-01-18 17:23:19 UTC https://padlet.com/nfletcher0104/998nb9htr4nx/wish/222526248 2. No, we don’t think there is. nfletcher0104 https://padlet.com/nfletcher0104/998nb9htr4nx/wish/222527237 We agree that there is no reasonable alternative to the DSM.
