Sounds like they are still in early planning stages (if they have even got that far). Earliest time frame on next edition is 2011 though it could be later than that.
One can make suggestions... Don't know whether they are considered anonomously, however...
Hard to say what will happen.
I've heard that task force negotiations can be a little like 'I'll give you that additional symptom on this criteria if you give me this additional symptom on that criteria'.
Methinks... The main obstical for psychiatry becoming a 'real science just like medicine' is... politics. Health insurance companies and the like. Actually, come to think of it that is probably the main obstical for medicine becoming a 'real science just like biology' lol.
Sigh.
