The development of diagnostic systems within psychiatry and their widespread use within the medical profession has led to their historical adoption within clinical psychology. For example a recent survey funded by the Higher Education Academy Psychology Network (Cromby et al., in press) found that the vast majority ot undergraduate courses use textbooks following the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. This leads to very outdated critiques of psychiatry and a failure to develop a specifically psychological approach to peoples problems.
