ACA Expresses DSM-5 Concerns to the American Psychiatric Association
ACA President Don W. Locke has sent a letter< http://www.counseling.org/Resources/pdfs/ACA_DSM-5_letter_11-11.pdf 
> to the American Psychiatric Association on behalf of professional counselors expressing current concerns about the DSM-5 revision process. The letter focuses on the need for better empirical evidence, the lack of information about proposed dimensional and cross cutting assessments, problems with the ongoing field trials, concerns about the biological emphasis of the revised definition of mental disorders, and the need for greater transparency.

Thanks go to the ACA DSM-5 Task Force, chaired by Dayle Jones, for providing critical background information and research for the letter.
