Great for Berkeley. However, this report was written by 4
left-wing
liberals from Berkeley's Graduate School of Education "Psychology"
Program...which ranks 45th in the nation by the way.

As opposed to right-wing liberals.....

That must be one of the DSM-IV mental disorders that's yet to be
named.
:-)

I don't believe the DSM is required reading at dental trade school.

Really? Do you *believe* studies that show almost 3/4 of patients
presenting with atypical facial pain (non-odontogenic in nature), have a
specific psychiatric disorder by DSM-IV criteria? Do you *believe* in
the
etiological relevance of specific phobias (ie--dental phobia) to panic
disorder with agoraphobia (PDA)?

Do you *believe* you have no idea what you're talking about?

PS-I liked your "trade school" dig, however. :-)



You've never read the DSM-IV or any of its predecessors.

Dentists are many times the front-line agents in the recognition of anxiety,
eating, personality, and especially substance-related disorders. *Of
course* we've been instructed in the recognition of disorders defined by the
DSM-IV criteria.

As an aside...my favorite disorder is NPD...because it's sooooo easy and
sooooo much fun to push the buttons of a Narcissist.

Mine too. But we wouldn't know any NPD candidates on this newsgroup
would we? ;-) I also enjoy pushing the buttons of those with APD. The
internet is full of many "socially challenged" people. Many of whom use
this as their only social outlet. Typically their demeanor and attitude,
is as easy as a lighthouse to spot.
