Is it just me or is the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 10 - 20 years behind the state of research?
hmm, what makes you think that?
Maybe it's just my bias of observation because i'm affected and actively analyze it with my psych (but each case is slightly different according to him), but this is all already familiar to me.
I feel like that's kind of to be expected in a field that has a half life of knowledge of only around 7 years. I doubt many psychologists/therapists actually follow the manual to the letter. If yours does I would definitely find a new one!

US ISD/CPT are behind WHO, too. And USA makes up their own codes.
