I've been blogging about issues relating to the upcoming 5th edition of the American Psychiatric Association's "Paraphilias" Subworkgroup, especially the proposed diagnosis "Paraphilic Coercive Disorder."
There are very troubling developments, and I've been blogging about these recently:
First, I argued that there is a historical and ideological connection between the pathologization of asexuality and the pathologization of the paraphilias: Asexuality and the Paraphilias
I then began to focus on PCD:
Paraphilic Coercive Disorder: Historical Background
Paraphilic Coercive Disorder: Understanding the context of a really bad idea
I'm currently trying to raise awareness of this very troubling proposal on the blogosphere.
