Is it just me or is the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 10 - 20 years behind the state of research?

    I feel like that's kind of to be expected in a field that has a half life of knowledge of only around 7 years. I doubt many psychologists/therapists actually follow the manual to the letter. If yours does I would definitely find a new one!
