The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) represents the most widely used psychiatric nosology in the United States. From a historical perspective, it appears that the major changes to the DSM have taken place to solve a few specific problems—particularly, problems with reliability. Over time, the DSM has done well in addressing problems related to reliability, but this evolution has raised many criticisms and has created additional problems. In this chapter, the history of the DSM is reviewed, along with the major criticisms that have been raised about its more recent versions. We also suggest taxometric analysis as one method that will prove useful in addressing many of the limitations of the current system. 

Lever (1987) presents an excellent overview of the regulatory process involved in FDA oversight of drug development, and gives the historical perspective for the evolution of the conservative process that is designed to ensure that any new pharmaceutical is both safe and efficacious.

The basic concepts of managed care have evolved and are continuing to evolve over time. To understand this evolution, a brief historical perspective is presented first, followed by discussions of the language and principles of managed care. 

Let us then accept that any biosphere will have much the same molecular substrate. The objection could still be raised that this base level of biomolecular commonality has little bearing on the diversification of life. To return to hemerythrin, this protein occurs in animals as diverse as annelids, brachiopods, priapulids, and sipunculans but (so far as we know) it has little, if any, bearing on the diversification of these three sorts of worm and a bivalved animal. Rather, one needs now to sliift perspective to ask to what extent the nexus of evolution is controlled or governed by predeterminants, possible pathways, and incumbencies. Do these undermine, if not negate, any possibility of evolutionary inevitabilities Recall that, from a historical perspective, evolution is faced with repeated decisions based...

In this introductory chapter the basic information on polymer blends (with a special emphasis on the commercial alloys) is presented in the sequence (i) a historical perspective on the polymer science and technology, (ii) polymeric structures and nomenclature, (iii) fundamental concepts in polymer blend science, and (iv) evolution of polymer blends technology.

The understanding of mass transfer in multiphase reactors has closely followed the understanding of the underlying hydrodynamics. Therefore, in the ensuing discussion, a historical perspective of the evolution of approaches for predicting mass transfer coefficients in multiphase systems is presented. The theoretical background for the same is also inclnded.
