Some critics say psychological labels are invented, not discovered.
The medical model of the human brain is good for billing insurance companies and standardizing clinician behavior i suppose but not necessarily an objective reality.
- itisit 6y agoWords ≠ reality...you don't say?
- staticman2 6y agoLaypeople word policing psychological terms on the internet is a weird rabbit hole if you buy the criticism the terms are arbitrary to begin with and don't really refer to reality.
- itisit 6y agoWhat is reality?
- justinjlynn 6y agoThat which is irreplaceable, I'd conjecture.
- hntrader 6y ago> don't really refer to reality The terms refer to an abstracted and coarse version of reality. They don't have zero utility, even if the criticisms are fitting.
