Now it's mainstream to be critical of MRI brain studies

Daniel Weinberger (who I have mentioned in a previous post) & Eugenia Radulescu (2015) have produced a note of caution about MRI brain scanning in psychiatry. They suggest they are starting a critical perspective on the interpretation of such results. I suppose what's new is that this critique has come from mainstream researchers, who themselves have made claims about brain abnormalities associated with mental illness from such studies. Still, mainstream support for critical psychiatry is welcome. Some adapted quotes from the article in a tweet.

    Dear Dr Double,

    International Critical Psychiatry Network Link does not respond and probably is not maintained. Please re-commission that site.

    Also your blog needs to have a Facebook connection to be more visible on the Internet.

    Monumental work of Critical Psychiatry and their colleagues with similar or nearly similar approaches around the world should be more reflected and perhaps consolidated around the world via the Internet, in my humble opinion.

    Best wishes and kindest regards
