Culture and Context in Mental Health Diagnosing: Scrutinizing the DSM-5 Revision

Abstract: This article examines the revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) and its claim of incorporating a Bgreater cultural sensitivity.T he analysis reveals that the manual conveys mixed messages as it explicitly addresses the critique of being ethnocentric and having a static notion of culture yet continues in a similar fashion when culture is applied in diagnostic criteria.
