β¦ Synopsis
Since this paper was written, the American Psychiatric Association has issued (1987) a revised edition of the DSMIII known as DSMII1-R. This revision takes some account of cultural and social influences in the manifestation of mental disorder, but does not seriously affect the question of the cross-cultural adequacy of either edition, nor of the use made by Simons and Hughes of DSMIII in the book under examination.
