when was the first edition of the dsm published?
1952
the term "pedophilia" became the generally accepted term for the condition and saw widespread adoption in the early 20th century, appearing in many popular medical dictionaries such as the 5th edition of "stedman's" in 1918. in 1952, it was included in the first edition of the "diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders". this edition and the subsequent dsm-ii listed the disorder as one subtype of the classification "sexual deviation", but no diagnostic criteria were provided. the dsm-iii, published in 1980, contained a full description of the disorder and provided a set of guidelines for diagnosis. the revision in 1987, the dsm-iii-r, kept the description largely the same, but updated and expanded the diagnostic criteria.

the dsm-5 was published on may 18, 2013, superseding the dsm-iv-tr, which was published in 2000. the development of the new edition began with a conference in 1999 and proceeded with the formation of a task force in 2007, which developed and field-tested a variety of new classifications. in most respects, the dsm-5 is not greatly modified from the dsm-iv-tr; however, some significant differences exist between them. notable changes in the dsm-5 include the reconceptualization of asperger syndrome from a distinct disorder to an autism spectrum disorder; the elimination of subtypes of schizophrenia; the deletion of the "bereavement exclusion" for depressive disorders; the renaming of "gender identity disorder" to "gender dysphoria", along with a revised treatment plan; the inclusion of binge eating disorder as a discrete eating disorder; the renaming and reconceptualization of "paraphilias" to "paraphilic disorders"; the removal of the axis system; and the splitting of "disorders not otherwise specified" into "other specified disorders" and "unspecified disorders". in addition, the dsm-5 is the first dsm to use an arabic numeral instead of a roman numeral in its title, as well as the first "living document" version of a dsm.
