Q. Are you aware of where an electronic version (ideally Web based) of the DSM-IV can be located?

A. I'm not sure about an on-line DSM-IV, but there are several electronic versions that allow you to search for words and phrases, scan the table of contents, copy and paste into your word processor, etc. There is an electronic version of the DSM-IV Text Revision available via the website http://www.mhc.com/dsm.html. This is a product of the American Psychiatric Assocation, and is on CD-ROM, but I believe there are network versions available for multiple users. A similar product is available from MedTech US (go to http://store.yahoo.com/medtech/349.html).
