So why does the DSM-5 Task Force take pride in claiming that the conflict of interest policies for the DSM-5 Task Force are better that those for the DSM-IV? Back then, we had no idea how important those policies would be. That would be like comparing our National Defense policies in 1958 to those of 1940.<\/p>\n<div align=\"justify\">Fact is, given what we know now, the DSM-5 Task Force conflict of interest policies are woefully inadequate.
