Just two weeks before DSM-5 is due to appear, the National Institute of Mental Health, the world's largest mental health research institute, has announced that it is withdrawing support for the manual.

In a humiliating blow to the American Psychiatric Association, Thomas R. Insel, M.D., Director of the NIMH, made clear the agency would no longer fund research projects that rely exclusively on DSM criteria. Henceforth, the NIMH, which had thrown its weight and funding behind earlier editions of the manual, would be "re-orienting its research away from DSM categories." "The weakness" of the manual, he explained in a sharply worded statement, "is its lack of validity."

It will be interesting to see what's so offensive about this edition of the DSM. From what I've read in pre-release articles, the new edition will categorize "anti-government" thinking as mental illness. The Soviets did that and sent their "mentally ill" dissidents to the gulag.
