December 2012- DSM 5 voted and approved.

The DSM-5 initially described Pedophilic Disorder as a sexual orientation, which caused some members of the public to take offense, and express concern that this would pave the way for reduced criminal culpability (American Psychiatric Association, 2013a).The American Psychiatric Association later indicated the word “ preference” was a typographical error, and should have read “ interest” (American Psychiatric Association, 2013b).
