Debating the Downside of Psychiatric Diagnosis
There was an excellent debate on PBS about psychiatric diagnosis and the DSM-V between DSM-IV editor Allen Francis and APA president Alan Schatzberg. You can see it at: http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/health/jan-june10/mentalillness_02-10.html. I have respect for Alan Schatzberg, but his comments about ADHD indicate that he REALLY needs to read my upcoming book.

I call Dr. Schatzberg the Zelig of psychiatry malfeasance -- he always seems to show up where the pharma money is.
ReplyDeleteWhy not send him a copy of your book as a gift, Dr. Allen?
