The debate about the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSM-5

with the British Psychological Society response, June 2011:

"The Society recommends a revision of the way mental distress is thought about, starting with recognition of the overwhelming evidence that it is on a spectrum with 'normal' experience, and that psychosocial factors such as poverty, unemployment and trauma are the most strongly-evidenced causal factors. Rather than applying preordained diagnostic categories to clinical populations, we believe that any classification system should begin from the bottom up – starting with specific experiences, problems or ‘symptoms’ or ‘complaints’"

Max Weber, What is culture
“’culture is a finite segment of the meaningless infinity of the world process, a segment on which human beings confer meaning and significance”
"Essay on objectivity" (1904), in Essays in the Methodology of the Social Sciences (Engl. Transl. 1949), p. 81

Max Weber, What is sociology
"Sociology (in the sense in which this-highly ambiguous word is used here) is a science concerning itself with the interpretive understanding of social action and thereby with a causal explanation of its course and consequences. We shall speak of 'action' insofar as the acting individual attaches a subjective meaning to his behavior-be it overt or covert, omission or acquiescence. Action is 'social' insofar as its subjective meaning takes account of the behavior of others and is thereby oriented in its course"
Economy and Society, p. 5
