Yes.

I think it is an example of what people do who are obliged to treat disorders that they do not understand. The temptation is to blame the sufferer rather than admit inability to cope with the disorder. The mental health profession is characterized today by not understanding the causes of the problems they face, as witnessed by all the different kinds of treatment and theories of what causes disorders such as schizophrenia. I mean, there is a big difference between seeing cause as a disturbance in the brain systems that enable one to love and obtain affection, because of problems in that area stemming from childhood experience, or seeing it as due to some virus carried by felines.

I think the state of mental health understanding today has some similarities to the state of understanding of physical disorders of 150 or more years ago. Bloodletting, anyone, for all manner of ailments?
