  • Title: Problems with paraphilias in the DSM-5.
    Author: Fedoroff JP, Di Gioacchino L, Murphy L.
    Journal: Curr Psychiatry Rep; 2013 Aug; 15(8):363. PubMed ID: 23881707.
    Abstract:
    This paper critiques changes in the diagnositic criteria for the paraphilias as set out in the DSM-5. In addition to general areas of concern, five specific problem areas are identified. This includes: definitions by exclusion; culturally based criteria; ignoring etiology; minimizing consent issues; and lack of field trials. A suggestion to improve the diagnostic criteria is offered.
