Psyco Alphabet Soup<< Proposed New Addition??

Perhaps one of my BIGGEST Pet Peeves is "Labeling", and unfortunately the Psyco Industry is Famous for that.

Now there are going to be substantial changes are in the offing for the "psychiatrist's bible," the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, according to a draft of the forthcoming fifth edition

Adding a new disorder in children, "temper dysregulation with dysphoria," for persistent negative mood with bursts of rage.

This labeling of a Parent and a Child started with ADD - Adult Discipline Disorder - a manifestation of our cultural failure to provide firm and consistent discipline. Followed by a slew of other disorders, when relating to the child and parent.

Now TDD - which description looks like temper tantrums. It looks to me like another manifestation of permissive child rearing practices, the failure to enforce consequences for conduct and the total denial of
making a child take responsibility for wrongdoing. We'll give it a clinical diagnosis and say "there's nothing wrong with our child-rearing practices, there's just something wrong with the kid. Here's a pill to
cure it. "

So take a look at this article, 
http://abcnews.go.com/Health/MindMoodNews/big-psychiatrists-bible-dsm/story?id=9795049
and don't forget to read "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders".

Oh, may I ask "What is NORMAL??????"
