You seem intent on trashing Whitaker. Don't shoot the messenger. The book speaks for itself. Not sure what to do with your musings and anecdotes.

Are you saying psychiatry is a medical science? How so? Yet another thing that Whitaker's book lays out so clearly is how the profession so badly wanted to become a legit medical field, and tried to come up with a biological basis for mental disorders, failed, then simply used PR to sell the idea anyway. Smashing success.
