PLEASE NOTE: AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC PUBLISHING HAS SINCE REMOVED THE LINKS TO THE PDF VERSIONS OF PREVIOUS DSMs AND PUT THEM BEHIND A PASSWORD PROTECTED WALL. WE ARE SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE DUE TO THIS CHANGE.
On their website, American Psychiatric Publishing, Inc. includes electronic versions of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders I, II, III, IIIR, and IV. Each of the books are available in a PDF format.
This provides a perfect opportunity to see how the various disorders names, descriptions, and symptom patterns have changes over the years. Below I've included the links to each of the past DSMs.

Thanks for putting these DSM books online.
I just heard about these so called disorders manuals.
I was watching the documentary 'the marketing of madness' when they talked about the DSM 4. It all makes sense to me.
I f anyone else want to see the documentary, you can watch it here

Thanks again and everyone try to take of themselves.
Cheers
All these DSM Books were put online by the American Psychiatric Association itself.
These are not secret.
In fact, DSM books try to explain for anyone who will read he books as to how and why a particular criteria is used for diagnosis.
Hi there, the links do not work for the dsm at the link provided

Sorry, it looks like those links have been taken down, and I couldn't find the DSM III online either. Perhaps a local college library would have a copy?
It is a pity that you did not keep a pdf version of the DSM's..
Thanks again..
Google was hopeless, and I have absolutely no idea on how to bitorrent..

I may be able to get your a copy - send me an e-mail and I can forward it to you. My e-mail address is on the front page of this site.
