«Aimez-vous le DSM ?» is the essay by Stuart Kirk and Herb Kutchins on American psychiatry, in paperback (424 pages, in French).
The book reconstructs how the DSM III, published in 1980, left behind the psychoanalytic orientation and proposed an atheoretical and reliable classification system for mental disorders. It recounts the internal disputes of American psychiatry, such as the debate on homosexuality as a disorder, and puts the manual's scientific promises to the test.
The subtitle of the work is «Le triomphe de la psychiatrie américaine». Published by Les Empêcheurs de Penser en Rond in 1998.
For readers interested in the history of psychiatry, debates on the diagnosis of mental disorders, and the role of the DSM in the United States.
