In other words, some psychologists are coming round to the idea that BDSM activities should not be included on the list of 'pathopsychologies' meaning that they will not be considered evidence of mental disorder. Certainly a step in the right direction towards general acceptance.

You can request a free, full copy of the article from the website above so long as you agree to the conditions (which basically say 'do not plaguarise us, quote us out of context, give the article to anyone else etc.' I am waiting for my copy to arrive...

Every step forward is a good one.
