The Sad Story of Psychiatry, Clinical Psychology and Social Work.

Psychiatry, Clinical Psychology and Clinical Social Work are three sad, confused orphans who all claim to treat human unhappiness and confusion referred to as mental illnesses and disorders. The term "mental illnesses" are metaphors for disturbed and disturbing behaviors, various modes of thinking and emotional expression and have nothing actually to do with real medical problems. Therefore, the brain disabling drugs psychiatrists prescribe to suffering people are neither real treatments nor actual medicines. Psychiatry's siblings talk to people about their problems and call what they do psychotherapy. Strictly speaking since the problems have nothing to do with medicine, talking is neither a treatment nor a form of therapy. All three quarellsome siblings have serious identity problems, psychiatry with its true place in real medicine. The other two sibling have no idea what words they would use to replace phony medical terms such as "patient,' "treatment," "therapist," "diagnoses," etc. and without their false medical terminology they are completely without an identity. Is there anything sadder than three ever fighting, confused siblings both homeless and without identities?
