LOL!!

Yes, I think relational disorders are a major element of life here on BB.

Most of us are, I believe, various opinions to the contrary (E, for example, believes that I have about half the current diagnoses in the DSM) normal, averagely mentally healthy people. But put this peculiar mix of people together in the crucible of BB, and it's turned out to be a quite explosive mix.

The addition of relational disorders to the DSM would make this thread an even more appealing subject for a dissertation, since now there would be actual diagnoses to make this a case study of.

You nailed with this one!

What makes the proposed new category so radical is that, unlike current psychiatric diagnoses, which identify illnesses solely in individuals, relational disorders would recognize sickness in groups of people and the relationships between them.
