Good luck! Working with the DSM committee people is a farce half of the time. The medical people don't want to change anything. They look down on the psychology people. And then there's many other groups of scientists and committees trying to point things from their sub-fields of study, and they can never get anything changed except for a few footnotes if they're lucky. (It's easier to keep things OUT of the DSM than to get new things or changes put IN the DSM).

I hope it goes well, but don't be too concerned if it doesn't. After all, even fights about colds or native diseases become big topics for the DSM people to fight about.
