Document Summary
Mon dec 5: apa doesn"t talk about rates of adhd, because of stigma people don"t realize these are mentally ill behaviours . Why do psychiatrists cling to medical model in the absence of biomarkers: not all psychiatrists subscribe to the medical model, medical model is fav: majority, but not all. Reasons: broader cultural movement on what is called materialism; idea that all life has its roots in physical matter; all things can be explained only through physical processes. Understand humans as machines: a lot of legitimacy in that approach. They have a lot of rhetorical power (biomarkers: some of the dominant ideas in psychiatry expressed in the past were seen as harmful. Psychoanalysis; no evidence that it is correct. Freud mysterious ideas as the personality is divided into 3 parts; no way to prove that: psychiatric medication. If feelings/behaviour is different when taking the medication there is an underlying problem biologically.
