"Make-Believes" in Psychiatry or The Perils of Progress (Clinical and Experimental Psychiatry, Volume 7) - Hardcover
Psychiatrist Van Praag critically evaluates about three decades' worth of empirical psychiatry as he demonstrates the disastrous practical consequences of DSM-III and DSM-III-R for psychiatric research in general and biological research in particular; as he highlights the perils of an ever-expanding system of discrete and defined "make believe disorders;" and as he focuses on the impoverishment of the diagnostic process resulting from the current overreliance on easily objectifiable phenomena at the expense of the subjective domains of psychopathology.
