The DSM is not based on the internal coherence of nosographic entities that point to a common nucleus within the structure of mental pathology. On the contrary, it is based on the concordance of clinical diagnoses deriving from classical descriptions, which exclude any observations that contradict the unacknowledged behavioral presuppositions and this concordance. In spite of such severe restrictions, concordance has never been significant. The result is a series of incoherent descriptions, the most glaring being the need to introduce a variety of personalities (which renders the very idea of multiple personality inoperative) instead of accepting the notion of the divided subject. Therefore, the DSM fosters “performative” statements whose only aim is to uphold concepts that require no subject, but that nothing can justify apart from twisting language, resulting, for example, in a distinction between “forcing someone to have sexual relations” and “rape”: a distinction based on the difference between these two acts and not on the subjective position of the rapist. The main feature of the DSM is thus its “performative” nature or its invention of newspeak.
