My question is why the DSM----I too read a lot, often articles in the primary literature that my pdoc/T would never have time to read. I don't do it to turn the tables though---wouldn't be much point, once you hear voices its hard to deny the crazy and I need all the help I can get. I can't help but wonder if the excessive love of the DSM is to embrace or refute it. Are you looking for reasons your dx's are wrong?

Personally I don't believe in the DSM and neither does my pdoc because its not based on modern science. His description of the DSM was that its just a book some guy wrote, this dismissive attitude has really prevented me from ever caring about it.
