over uniformity, and justice over all.

ACA Responds With DSM Revision Recommendations

ACA's feedback on the proposed revisions to the Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual of Mental Disorders has been forwarded to the American Psychiatric
Association. Using member feedback, generated by an electronic call for
input and a town hall meeting at the Pittsburgh conference, a task force
appointed by ACA President Lynn E. Linde, incorporated the comments of more
than four dozen contributors into a letter that was submitted to APA in
April on behalf of the ACA membership.

In her letter, President Linde expressed concern about ACA's exclusion from
participation in the development of the DSM-5 and went on to state: "It is
essential to involve us because we provide a unique perspective." She
further requested professional counselor participation in both the field
testing process and the dissemination of information to be adequately
prepared for the final feedback opportunity in 2011.

The ACA DSM-5 Task Force was comprised of Charles Pemberton (Chair), Camille
Clay, Rebecca Daniel-Burke, Dayle Jones, Monica Kintich, and Jacqueline
Swank.
