the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual or the DSM,
-

-
and the early editions in the '50s and '60s were highly subjective
-

-
much more objective, to make the set of behaviors
-
or observations that are required to diagnose someone
-
be things that are observable, that you can see in other people ,
