AVENguy Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Here's a youtube video with an update from the DSM Taskforce: If you know of therapists or people researching sexuality please let us know! We're trying to talk to people with academic credentials as part of the project. Link to post Share on other sites

ily Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Yay! Glad to hear it's going well. So do you want ANY ase-friendly therapists, or just ones involved with studying sexuality? Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Happy Toast Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 So do you want ANY ase-friendly therapists, or just ones involved with studying sexuality? Ones involved in studying sexuality. One of the main goals of the DSM is to provide a useful guide for therapists, and in this case it will be specifically therapists involved in sexuality-related issues.

Guest Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 This isn't a recommendation of specific people, so I don't know if this will be helpful, but UC Berkeley has a Center for the Study of Sexual Culture (http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~cssc/), which is a part of the Gender Consortium (http://womensstudies.berkeley.edu/consortium.html). These might offer good starting points for academics researching sexuality. Link to post Share on other sites

Mm, I like that. But they didn't mention asexuality... Link to post Share on other sites
echidna Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 There is now a draft of the DSM-5 available online for comment. This is the link to hypoactive sexual desire disorder http://www.dsm5.org/ProposedRevisions/Pages/proposedrevision.aspx?rid=60# It says it has been proposed that this should be incorporated into sexual interest/arousal disorder in women/men http://www.dsm5.org/ProposedRevisions/Pages/proposedrevision.aspx?rid=432 http://www.dsm5.org/ProposedRevisions/Pages/proposedrevision.aspx?rid=434 Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Happy Toast Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 They're only permitting comments until sometime in April, so if anyone wants to comment, they should do so quickly. Also, the paper explaining the changes (for the female version) are available here. The paper regarding the male version of the diagnosis is not available online (and, as of mid-February, had not yet been written.) I would strongly recommend reading the paper before commenting.
