Hi, I think this examination of the problems with the latest re-write of the DSM is worth a listen or a read for all us psych teachers. Given the limited time I have to cover material in intro, I tend to focus on this controversy rather than teach the disorders and how they are classified. _http://www.onthemedia.org/transcripts/2008/12/26/05_ (http://www.onthemedia.org/transcripts/2008/12/26/05) As an experienced introductory psych teacher I actually have started to believe that abnormal can be skipped entirely and saved for an elective course. The course is still rich and interesting without it. But that's a discussion for another time. Enjoy.
