Monetary relationships and the DSM-IV

As reported in this recent NY Times article:

95 (or 56 percent) of 170 experts who worked on the 1994 edition of the manual, called the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, or D.S.M, had at least one monetary relationship with a drug maker in the years from 1989 to 2004.

Whether these relationships affected the content of the DSM-IV is another matter, but it's at least worth knowing the facts.
