Steve started off November with a post about the hazards of accepting the new DSM as Holy Writ.  Today's news shines an unflattering spotlight on what can go on in the practice of psychiatry.  And yes, it's not fair to judge the entire profession by the misbehavior of one.  At the same time, it's unwise entirely to ignore specific evidence that those who ooze with alleged concern for the mental health of their charges may have other things in mind.  Sometimes, it's painful to see how literally self-serving the Excuse Industry can be.
