Gradually degenerating into ignorance and complacency.

book plug

I haven't read all of it, but I've finished one-third, as it's a quick read. A Dose of Sanity by Sydney Walker III, MD (1996) is written by a psychiatrist noting the non-scientific approach too many psychiatrists have for what they-call-medicine. So far, my favorite quote is, "... very little is undiagnosable, but much is not being diagnosed". This is a general theme to the book, noting also misdiagnoses and the theory of labelling that the psychological profession loves to do.

I would recommend this book for whomever find the topic and theme of interest.
