From the reviews: "Making the DSM-5, is an edited book comprising 11 chapters, eight of which were written by individuals who listed medical school affiliations. ... is a consistently engaging and thought-provoking read. ... the authors address issues that the leaders of the DSM-5 process generally seemed to ignore. ... should be required reading of any task force members who attempt to create the DSM-6." (Roger Blashfield, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 59 (14), April, 2014) "This book addresses the formation of the DSM-5 and the problems with the manual itself. ... The audience includes anyone interested in the field of mental health and the DSM-5 in particular. ... It will definitely open readers' eyes to how little we still know and how artificial our constructs are for understanding mental illness. It is a short book and I would highly recommend taking the time to read it." (Brett C. Plyler, Doody's Book Reviews, November, 2013)
