As someone with experience of psychiatric medicine, the way things are going at the moment in the field is, in fact, to over-emphasise the biological side of mental illness. It goes beyond the (unsubstantiated) idea that mental illnesses result from "chemical imbalances" for which no tests exist, to a total disregard for the social circumstances of the patient or their psychological profile. Sometimes the medical people will refer to a bio-psycho-social model, but it is mostly just lip service. If you want to see the Fundamental Attribution Error in action, psychiatry is the place to look. It's a variant of the FAE where the patient is held primarily responsible (through their biology) and their relationships with other people or current circumstances, or even upbringing, are ignored. Ronnie Laing showed that for at least some sufferers from mental illness, taking them out of a pathological family environment would cause a remission. Release them back to their family, and they would get ill again. That was in the 1960s.
