Description
The Making of DSM-III® chronicles how American psychiatry went from its psychoanalytic heyday in the 1940s and '50s, through the virulent anti-psychiatry of the 1960s and '70s, into the late 20th-century descriptive, criteria-grounded model of mental disorders. Decker's revealing book expertly recreates the stone-by-stone construction of a controversial, conflict-laden diagnostic manual and showcases the remarkable and tenacious handiwork of its creator, Robert L. Spitzer.
