The Making of DSM-III®
In 1973, the American Psychiatric Association decided to publish a revised edition of their Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM). There was great hope that a new manual would display psychiatry as a scientific field and aid in combating the attacks of an aggressive anti-psychiatry movement that had persisted for more than a decade.

Reproductive Justice
Every woman in the world has the right to control her own body, plan her family, receive good quality medical care, and give birth to a healthy baby.
