LGBTQs and the DSM-5: a critical queer response
1a School of Social Work , York University , Toronto , Ontario , Canada.
Abstract:
This article outlines a community-based collaboration in Toronto, Canada that led to an official response to the APA's call for comments and suggestions regarding diagnostic criteria revisions for the DSM-5 with a focus on disorders that have or may have an impact on the lives of LGBTQ people. We identified two diagnostic categories: gender dysphoria and paraphilias. The diagnostic categories and their respective disorders are deconstructed utilizing a critical queer analysis with recommendations for change. In addition, we explore the limitations of the APA review process itself and politics within the APA and the LGBTQ communities.
