In the intense debate its publication has sparked, DSM-5 has both its critics and its champions. One of the latter is Jack Klott, a mental health professional with 45 years of experience who’s trained over 10,000 therapists in the use of DSM. After reading DSM-5 cover to cover, he says that the new edition is “the best DSM ever written.”
In this video clip, Jack details why, despite one major flaw, he believes DSM-5 is a triumph for our field.
