*Since the first DSM, published in 1952, there have been three major revisions: DSM-II (1968), DSM-III (1980), and DSM-IV (1994). There have also been two interim revisions, more limited in scope: DSM-III-R (1987) and DSM-IV-TR (2000). The DSM-IV-TR is the edition in effect until DSM-5 is released. For brevity, I will refer to this current edition as DSM-IV.
*After the DSM-5 revision got under way, the American Psychiatric Association decided to abandon Roman numerals in favor of Arabic. I will be using the Arabic throughout, but some quoted material from early in the process will use Roman.
*The work group did eventually turn its attention to IED, tweaking some of its criteria and changing the text in the final rewrite.
*The APA did eventually try to use the academic field trick to assess prevalence by comparing each subject’s DSM-IV and DSM-5 diagnosis, and measuring whether the new criteria would create more cases of any particular disorder. But because the two diagnoses were made by two different raters, the results were of questionable value. It was, as one insider put it, a “half-assed way to determine prevalence.”
