A Family Systems Analysis of DSM-III-R.

Denton, Wayne

Journal of Marital and Family Therapy, v16 n2 p113-25 Apr 1990

Claims implicit scientific paradigms of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-III-Revised (DSM-III-R) and family therapy to be incompatible. Notes DSM-III-R views symptoms arising from processes occurring within individuals while family therapy sees symptoms as arising from processes occurring within family systems. Suggests alternative classification approaches. (Author/CM)
