Read the Pickersgill article evaluating the DSM-V and write an article review of it based on the specifications below. While an article review is a condensed summary of the article read, I would also like you to add a section where you evaluate the argument of the author in regard to the efficacy of the DSM-V as a diagnostic tool for psychopathology.

REQUIREMENTS:

• APA Format, including title page and bibliography
• 3-5 pages, exclusive of title page and bibliography
• 12 pt. font, Times New Roman or Calibri, 1-inch margins
• Uploaded to this assignment in PDF format

QUESTIONS TO ADDRESS:

• What is the general topic that this paper is addressing? What has previous research on this (or related) topics demonstrated?
• Is this an opinion piece, or were experimental research methods used?
• What are the results, the thesis, or the findings of the journal article?
• What major conclusions are drawn by the author based on their or others’ research?
• Are there any real-world implications for understanding human behavior in this research?
• Are there any limitations to the author’s argument? What are they not addressing?
• Do YOU believe that this research or opinion piece is valid and informative?

NOTE: The questions above should be addressed cohesively as you summarize and evaluate the article, not listed and answered line by line. In fact, some of the questions may not fit into your review at all… simply look at them as a guide to writing your paper. You are encouraged to cite outside research on the efficacy of the DSM in your paper. Please email me if you have any questions.
