It is suggested in this paper that DSM-IV serves to psychiatrise everyday life by deconstructing the traditional distinctions between the mentally disordered and the mentally healthy. It allows for continuing psychiatric expansionism by enabling the nosological territory to expand without limit, invading that behavioural area once differentiated as 'healthy' or 'normal'. According to DSM-IV, all people exhibit more or less psychological and behavioural phenomena which can be taken as indicative of mental disorder. In the face of potentially unlimited application, the decision to apply the term 'mental disorder' in any particular case is removed from the realm of nosology and re-located within decisions regarding the security of the social system, manifest as risk posed to the individual and the community. It is suggested that psychiatry has thus become a system of risk management and that DSM-IV colludes in and facilitates that strategy. |
