“[O]ur inner lives are too important to leave in the hands of doctors [,] because they don't know as much about us as they claim, because a full account of human nature is beyond their ken.”
― The Book of Woe: The DSM and the Unmaking of Psychiatry

“But we all know that the DSM is at its best a clumsy and imperfect field guide to our foibles and at its worst a compendium of expert opinions masquerading as scientific truths, a book whose credibility surpasses its integrity, whose usefulness is primarily commercial, and whose most ardent defenders are reduced to arguing that it should be taken less seriously even as all of us - clinicians, researchers, and copyright holders alike - cash in on the fact that it is not.”

“Descriptive psychiatry can't determine whether or not a person's story [...] is a true one. More important, it can't tell us whether the list of symptoms, no matter how reliable, constitutes a disease. It can gather scattered particles into a category [...], but it can't say whether those amount to the natural formation known as disease.”
