I know the name JD Supra sounds like someone you once dated and remember fondly from afar (good old JD), or maybe it’s a new Toyota model made just for lawyers (the name Infra just didn’t rock anyone’s world).

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:

These are more than trends; these are words to the wise.

His #3 “Security Begins to Matter …Really” point is one we’ve been hammering on for years. Excerpt:
