(This Medscape article was posted on February 18, 2015. I was able to read it by searching for the title on twitter.) Dr. Lieberman's book, Shrinks, was reviewed by Paul McHugh, M.D.: The Doctor Isn’t In - https://www.commentarymagazine.com/articles/the-doctor-isnt-in/ https://www.commentarymagazine.com/articles/the-doctor-isnt-... The practices of conventional Psychiatry have been pretty well repudiated by the Mad in America crew, led by investigative journalist Robert Whitaker. Today's essay is Has Psychiatry Gone Uniquely Astray? - https://www.madinamerica.com/2017/07/has-psychiatry-gone-uniquely-astray/ https://www.madinamerica.com/2017/07/has-psychiatry-gone-uni... edit: this essay has a interesting comment about the difference between modern science and pre-WWII science: So where did popular ideas about science come from, that I assert to be misleading? They came from how science used to be, by contrast to what it is like nowadays. One would be hard put to overemphasize the sea change in scientific activities that is apparent when contrasting contemporary science with science before World War II. In a drastically oversimplified nutshell, one might describe pre-WWII science as a cottage industry carried on by independent intellectual entrepreneurs motivated primarily by curiosity in seeking truths about the natural world, not beholden to patrons and subsisting typically in ivory towers undisturbed by social, political, commercial interference; science was free to be its own thing. By contrast, contemporary science is at the mercy of those who provide the enormous resources now needed to penetrate further into Nature’s mysteries. Modern-day science is competitively cutthroat and subject to pervasive conflicts of interest, beholden to the providers of resources: governments, businesses, industries, foundations, all of which aim to harness science to their own benefit. These assertions are described and documented more fully in my new book, Science Is Not What You Think—How it has changed, Why we can’t trust it, How it can be fixed.
