The American Psychiatric Association (APA) responded to recent criticism of the revision process of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual by outlining its work: planning sessions starting in 1999, a website posting updates, outreach to lay groups, financial disclosures, and the opportunity to comment on the release of a draft in 2010. The DSM-V is scheduled for release in 2012 and will then be used by clinicians establishing criteria for describing disorders as well as for insurance reimbursement.
