This book is about the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, more commonly known as the D.S.M. Within its pages can be found diagnostic criteria for types of depression, types of schizophrenia, eating disorders, anxiety disorders, phobias, sleeping disorders, and so on.

Through an examination of those features of psychiatry that distinguish it from other sciences - for example, its contested subject matter, its particular modes of explanation, and its multiple different theoretical frameworks - this book explores some of the many conceptual, metaphysical and epistemological issues that arise in psychiatry.
