Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The first three editions of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) were heavily influenced by Freud's psychoanalytic theory, which focused on internal psychological processes rather than observable behaviors. Behavior modifiers, who focus on observable and measurable behaviors, found little use for these editions because of their theoretical basis in Freud's ideas.
