•Some diagnoses are based on cultural notions of normality
•The D S M may overstate the case for biological influences on many mental disorders
•Some argue that the D S M is gender-biased, according a much higher prevalence of many disorders to women
•Because not all symptoms need to be met for any diagnosis to be made, two people with the same diagnosis can have very different symptom profiles.
•Situations in which a person may qualify for more than one diagnosis is a point of confusion among practitioners.
•The D S M makes no provisions for recording client strengths.
