What is the progress on moving away from the DSM? [1] "NIMH funding to shift away from DSM categories" From that article it sounds like their are a number of people and groups that can't agree on the value of DSM categories but they will continue to use it.

I recall they created some controversy when removing homosexuality as a disorder. What scientific methods are used to add, change or deprecate a category?
