Playskool's My First DSM
The Playskool Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, better known as Playskool's My First DSM, is a children's publication for the classification of mental disorders using child-friendly language, simple shapes, and bright primary colors.
History
It is published by Playskool's Allopathic Play Analysis (APA) division, and is used by clinicians, researchers, psychiatric drug regulation agencies, health insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, the legal system, and policy makers.
My First DSM evolved from systems for collecting census and psychiatric hospital statistics and from a United States Army child interrogation manual.
Revisions since its first publication in 1952 have incrementally added to the total number of bright primary colors, while removing mental illnesses no longer considered to be play-related activities.
