Are you allowed to provide a copy of the publication Duncan? How are people going to be able to contribute to these debates which will impact seriously on lives - unless they are aware of them? Mental health workers should be disseminating this information to the public, including, vitally, user organisations. <br />There is a massive increase in people being sectioned in UK despite the gross inadequacies of appropriate help from private and NHS psychiatric institutions, many of them simply in it for the money Psychiatrists will hang on to their questionable diagnoses in particular the catch all ' personality disorder' which gives a false legitimacy and to their practice ,so this will just continue. HOW many more labels are being conjured up to include neuropsychiatric agendas? <br />As for the highly disputed label of 'psychosomatic' even the BMA is investigating the validity or possible damage caused by this. Countless people have been harmed by being described as such -both by the stigma and the often years of unnecessary pain caused by the lack of humility of doctors who cannot admit that not knowing does not equate with 'psychosomatic'. Unexplained, even unexplainable is better than notes on a record hinting at mental illness-psychosomatic-frequent returner-heartsink and other insulting tags.. The fascination with brains is historical. The damage caused by those with the power to put their 'excitement' into practice is horrendous and well documented. It is about time the heart was put into practice and real healing attempted before it is too late. It probably is - the prestige of neuropsychiatry will attract trainees more than having real relationships with real human beings.cobwebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11167409180193489859noreply@blogger.com
