- yellowapple 10y agoOur understanding of psychology and the human brain changes so often that I'd have a hard time trusting a source that hasn't been recently updated. Even with that said, the average time between DSM revisions is, what, every 15 years, give or take? I wouldn't exactly call that "often".
