Those psychiatrists and clinical psychologists who do not protest the DSM-5 are grossly incompetent or in it for the money. The APA is in it for the money, and quite competently so: So far, nearly everyone in medicine and health-care has been swindled into believing they work in the patients' interests. They don't, or if they do because it pays them.
And to be clear here, morally and financially: That people work for money is not bad, in itself, if they are also just, honest and fair, for everybody needs a living. The problem is that the DSM-5 is neither fair, nor honest, nor just, nor scientific, in any real sense, nor is it medicalscience: it is mostly a sort of theology of the soul, formulated in postmodern terms that are meant and designed to mislead and to obfuscate, and that are intentionally ambiguous, vague and poly-interpretable.

Post a Comment
Comments are most welcome! But please:
- No SPAM whatsoever, no supplements, no pharmaceuticals, no herbs or any other advertisements
- Absolutely no quack-doctors pushing their quack-BS websites (and if you are a quack, I will call you out)
- Be critical if you want to, but try to be coherent
Comments are moderated, because I am tired of Gerwyn-V99-The-Idiot and his moronic sockpuppets, and tired of the story of the two dogs, but I will try to publish everything else.
If you are not Gerwyn (and want to tell me something other than the story of the two dogs), then relax and write something! :-)
