    I think this is the one you were after Phil

     

    Feel-oesophagul: the visualisation and fantasy of wrapping one's hands around the neck of an internet troll and squeezing gently until the oesophagus is felt.

  2. Except that it didn't work, the only success of the current DSM has been to reduce the entire psychiatric profession to a laughing stock. It really is a stupid book, just read some of the new 'disorders' such as excessive caffeine addiction - or yes its opposite (lack of caffeine).

    There were plenty of knockers when the DSM-IV came out too. The process was sound, even if some people didn't like the outcome.

    For it had been revealed that the Pox had been stripped of his authority when he....

     

    The 12incher wishes to advise that he has nothing of substance to add in a blue italic font, but would like to wish his fellow NESsers a happy Christmas. Except for that Turbo character, who bore a remarkable similarity to Grumpy Cat, and for whom a wish of happiness would only be inappropriate and unwarranted.

     

     

  4. As far as Cols suggestion that all the members should get a look at drafts before they go to CASA ...well that simply would not be workable in the real world. We barely made the tight deadlines this time set by CASA. If you put the whole thing out to 10,000 or so members, then there would be 10,000 or so amendments to make...just not going to happen, and that's what your elected Board reps and tech people are there for anyway, to check and approve things on your behalf.

    When the DSM-IV-TR (mental health manual) was due to be revised, a panel of experts first assessed all of the relevant research, and then put a draft proposal together. Then all interested parties (anyone, not just mental health workers) were invited to make comment, and finally these comments were reviewed, before the final thing was put together. If that can work across the globe, surely something similar can happen for a smaller organisation.

     

    Maybe once this draft is through and accepted, RA-Aus could publish it with a comment section for future reviews, and if time permits, put the next draft out for comment.
