New Edition of DSM-IV? Nope, not yet.

In case you were wondering … and this question comes up at least once a week …:

A new edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) is not due until 2012. See the APA web site for this and more:

“… The next edition of the DSM, DSM-V, is not scheduled for publication until 2012. More information about the DSM revision process and the current activities in planning for the development of DSM-V are available on this website.”
