Abstract

This special issue focuses on Asians and the arrival of the DSM-5. We begin with a brief historical review of the development of the DSMs, from the DSM-I to the DSM-5. We then note some concerns about the general lack of cultural integration in past and current versions of the DSM, as it continues to emphasize a Western framework for understanding mental disorders. Following a common conclusion voiced by the authors of the articles included in this special issue, we underscore the ongoing need to achieve a more nuanced understanding of mental disorders in Asians.
