Universal Mental Health Classification Systems: Reclaiming Women's Experience

Janice Wood Wetzel

For decades, efforts have been made to promote uniform classification systems of mental disorders, to enhance research and consistent treatment. This article discusses the controversies regarding the influential U.S. manual, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders and critiques the popular codependence-addiction movement, both of which discriminate against women and ignore the possibility of social change. It presents a nonstigmatizing therapeutic assessment and programming model, the psychosocial spectrum model, and examples of relevant components of successful women's programs throughout the world.
