WHEN CAN DIAGNOSTIC<br />
CRITERIA BE CHANGED<br />
Change is confusing to clinicians<br />
Medical records and treatment algorithms rely on <strong>DSM</strong>s<br />
Change impairs cumulative research using meta-analysis<br />
Longitudinal research is threatened<br />
Change requires new structured interviews<br />
Changes may not reflect real differences<br />
Frequent changes discredit <strong>the</strong> revision process<br />
Small changes may have small benefits<br />
Bias and politics always, even with safeguards, affect <strong>the</strong> process<br />
