The Board for Public Health and Social Care in
Sweden will no longer be supporting the diagnosis and labelling of
sadomasochism, sadism, fetishism, transvestism or "
multiple aberrations of sexual preferences". All of those are to be barred from any further official use in hospital documents and journals, care prescriptions, forensic documents, court statements, medical testimonies and training of future psychologists, police personnel, social assistants and gynecologists. Today they're classed as mental disturbances or diseases, but no more so come January. Cheers!
