The slide you refer reads precisely as follows. <br />*note: means my comment. <br /><br />Paraphilias-Controversies?<br /><br />1.Garage (*note:NOT GARBAGE)diagnoses-Paraphilic Coercive Disoder, Paraphilia NOS (nonconsent), Hebephrenia (*note: NOT HEBEPHILIA), or Gerontomania.<br /><br />2. An expression of whose volitional impairment?<br /><br />3. "Red flag" diagnoses for DMH reviewers.<br /><br />4. General Rule: If it is outside the contemporary DSM, it is out of bounds for DMH SVP reports.<br /><br />5. DSM is where we "draw the line."<br /><br />*note: <br />In this section of the training, the trainer was advising not to utilize diagnoses that are not in the DSM. I.E., there is a section in the report for multi-axial assessment (Axis I and Axis II); the trainer was stating do not include diagnoses there that are not listed in DSM. For example, if Paraphilia NOS is used to denote a paraphilia, not otherwise specified involving non-consent, do not list on Axis I the further specifier of "non-consent". Similarly, he noted to not list on Axis I Paraphilic Coercive Disorder, Hebephrenia, or Gerontomania as these are not listed in DSM.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037283511791624881.post-3958577242975212272012-01-23T17:17:33.734-05:002012-01-23T17:17:33.734-05:00Dr. D'Orazio,

In that slide, the California training director did not mince any words. He labeled both hebephilia and "Paraphilic Coercive Disorder" as "GARBAGE DIAGNOSES," putting them in the same category as "gerontophilia" (a sexual preference for the elderly). This would seem to support Dr. Frances's interpretation of the training.<br /><br />I would recommend that interested readers go directly to the source, rather than relying on this blogger's demonstrably inaccurate memory. Thanks to California's public records act, the entire training is available online at the Department of Mental Health's website, http://bit.ly/x3m4HQ, thereby minimizing the ability of partisan advocates to engage in obfuscation about what did (or did not) transpire.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037283511791624881.post-18984800916406048432012-01-20T18:31:04.900-05:002012-01-20T18:31:04.900-05:00That was my recall of the training as well.

I also don't understand the view that strict adherence to an outdated and unreliable diagnostic system is preferred and required (see Kansas v Hendricks).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
