No, you were referring to Bott's claim that she could feel the vibration of her small dog barking through the window. She described an action, your replied to it as being "cute". You did not say her small dog was cute.
And again you are mistaken. The new edition will not be out until 2012. Unless you are on the advisory board, or a contributing author, you will not have access to a copy until it is published in 2012.
If you have a problem with being corrected when you are posting innaccuracies, perhaps you should make sure they are accurate statements prior to posting them.
You don't have to be on an advisary board to read comments by people on the advisory board or to read comments by contributing authors.
CONCLUSIONS
The DSM-V research agenda is ambitious and will embrace the whole of the present classification. The somatoform disorders section was introduced as being speculative, has been much criticized, and lacks a substantial evidence base. It has, however, become a major focus of consultation-liaison psychiatry. It refers to clinical problems in which there is an interaction of physiology, pathology, and psychological factors, factors for which consultation-liaison psychiatrists are arguably better placed to understand than any of their colleagues. We call for further research and debate about our basic concepts and terminology and also for active involvement in the political process that is the inevitable and fundamental part of revising a classification. We should at least contemplate the more radical solutions, such as abolition, even if in the end we opt for caution. At the same time, we need to much more effectively assert our clinical expertise. This should depend on saying and demonstrating what we can do rather than clinging to a terminology and classification that we ourselves know to be unsatisfactory, poorly understood by others, and unlikely to be acceptable to our patients.
We suggest that consultation-liaison psychiatrists should set out the ways in which the program for DSM-V might most usefully deal with a major developing area of their clinical expertise. Whether the outcome is major revision of the present category or abolition, this is an opportunity for fundamental discussion and further research. It is an opportunity to try and ensure that the issues that are not well understood within psychiatry, or in medicine as a whole, are given the attention they deserve. We hope that Psychosomatics will be a major forum for the debate.
