| "It is not because things are difficult that we don't try, it is because we don't try that they are difficult". Sénèque |
| "Where is psychiatry headed? What the discipline badly needs is close attention to patients and their individual symptoms, in order to carve out the real diseases from the vast pool of symptoms that DSM keeps reshuffling into different "disorders." This kind of careful attention to what patients actually have is called "psychopathology," and its absence distinguishes American psychiatry from the European tradition. With DSM-V, American psychiatry is headed in exactly the opposite direction: defining ever- widening circles of the population as mentally ill with vague and undifferentiated diagnoses and treating them with powerful drugs". —Edward Shorter is professor of the history of medicine and psychiatry in the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Toronto. in: The Wall Street Journal February 27, 2010 Why Psychiatry Needs Therapy A manual's draft reflects how diagnoses have grown foggier, drugs more ineffective |
