This title in other formats:They Say You're Crazy: How the World's Most Powerful Psychiatrists Decide Who Is Normalby Paula J Caplan
Synopses & ReviewsBook News Annotation:A psychologist and former consultant to those who construct the
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders--used by most
psychiatrists, therapists, and social workers evaluating
patients--offers lay readers an inside look at the process by which
decisions about abnormality are made. Caplan says scientific methods
and evidence are often disregarded as the handbook is revised and
that the personal biases and political considerations behind it are
masquerading as solid science and truth. Extensive bibliography.
