TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Commentary: Problems with the sexual disorders sections of DSM-5 JO - Journal of child sexual abuse A1 - Ross, Colin A. SP - 195 EP - 201 VL - 24 IS - 2 N2 - There are a number of problems with the sexual disorders sections of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition. These problems must be understood in a historical context, namely the evolution of criteria for psychosexual disorders from DSM-II (1968) to DSM-5 (2013). There are many inconsistencies in the DSM-5 criteria for different sexual disorders. Given these inconsistencies--and the history of diagnostic criteria for homosexuality and gender identity disorder from DSM-II to DSM-5--it is possible that, like homosexuality, DSM-5 gender dysphoria could disappear from future editions of the manual. Even if that does not happen, there are numerous problems with the DSM-5 sexual disorders that require attention.
