Well how about that! I was beginning to think that I was the only one on
the list as pissed off about the way things are going as you obviously are as
well. Care to start a revolution? Count me in.
Remember me? I'm the psychiatrist who is more than a little pissed off
about whats happened to my potentially noble profession. Just read a great
book called _The Selling of DSM, The Rhetoric of Science in Psychiatry_ by
Kirk and Hutchins. Good job unmasking "market" and "power" motives in creating
this bullshit document. I recommend it.
