Prof. Daniel N. Robinson's well balanced but sharp critique on certain attitudes in Psychiatry. Excerpt from the lecture series: Great ideas of psychology. Highly recommended.
Absolutely wonderful lecture. I heard this many years ago as part of his great courses lecture, and I’m so glad to see it on RUclips. Rest in peace sir
Working as a child and youth psychiatrist, I admire this sharp and critical lecture. Its very important message is, in my view, that one should never stop asking questions about psychiatry. I myself think a critical look at the development of inclusion criteria in DSM and ICD is important. Ben Bouwhuis, Norway
cheers, you're welcome! it seems this theme doesn't stand alone. Weather its about GMO, antibiotics, vaccination or climate chance, the public opinion outweighs the science time and again. on all these cases the science is poor and the subject very difficult and complex and the stakes are high. but to stay on the subject, mayhaps you'll find this one interesting too: hssm.semel.ucla.edu/wheres_evidence I always wondered why psychiatry has such a disproportional weight in law.. ps the whole lecture ' great ideas of psychology' can be bought at TTC (or be obtained via bittorrent :-) highly recommended
There's not just a deviation that a person has from us that we consider as mentally-ill, but a deviation the person has from the self. Jane's anger, and vocal tone fall into a certain range all of her life. Then, for the first time in her life her vocal pitch changes; she reports racing thoughts and acts aggressively when she never had. Instead of giving today's year, she thinks she's in the 1940's and is found talking to a toilet (none of which, her family reports), is anything like how she has ever been, spoke, behaved, or believed. This radical internal deviation from herself constitutes great evidence of mental illness, and all the more when she comes a high risk to herself and others when she historically was a trustworthy and dependable citizen.

I wouldn’t have thought something like Great Courses would have such a wise man, and great scholar on it.

Give the lecture a few more listens.
I think we should come to the conclusion considering what has just been presented that psychologists and psychiatrists are insane and dangerous.
