Stories like Debbie’s are ubiquitous, and so troubling that as the new Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM-5, is being prepared for release in 2013, clinicians formerly involved in its preparation are calling for major reform of the text that has driven psychiatric diagnosis and treatment for decades. Many of them will participate in “Boycott Normal,” a demonstration planned for May 5, when the American Psychiatric Association (APA) meets in Philadelphia and is likely to vote to go forward and publish the DSM-5.
Many feminist psychologists, psychiatrists and social workers are calling for stronger actions, including a boycott of the DSM-5 by clinicians, and Congressional hearings to address psychiatric diagnosis and the damaging effects of labeling people deemed to be “mentally ill.”
TONY DIGIROLAMO- "MENTALLY ILL" IN QUOTES! ... [T]o address psychiatric diagnosis and the damaging effects of labeling people deemed to be “mentally ill.”
"Psychiatric diagnosis" should be in quotes as well. We've been calling it aguessagnosis at best... and there guess at it's worst, can kill you.
PSYCHOLOGY AND GUESSAGNOSIS IS NOT DIAGNOSIS:
Guessagnosis is what psychology has been doing, on "ADD, ADHD, BIPOLAR, MPD" and that is not where this "Pscience" ends ... Rush Limbaugh touched on it and I'm grateful someone besides me is wondering, how many guessagnosis' have there been?!
I've been waiting for a long time for the world around me to get it right on psychology.
Rush Limbaugh sited on his radio show the fraud of MPD, Multiple Personality Disorder and how psychology went on with their guessagnosis and the Hoax that it became.
