I think this part of the article (okay, the whole article) is poorly
written. My interpretation of this statement about exposing stuff in Psych
Bulletin means that she saw the article and talked about it on her radio
show, not that she published in the Psych Bulletin... though it does make
it seem that she published there, just a little misleading...

I think the Professors mentioned here are probably the author of the Psych
Bulletin article that Dr. Laura "exposed". I don't have recent copies here
at home, so does anyone know of such an article?

to assume if something isn't covered in the DSM then it must be normal? I'd
be interested to hear what others who know more about the DSM have to say
on this point...
