The therapeutic world of psychiatry and psychology, being different than the scientific research world of both disciplines, contemplated their navels and the lint they saw within and found enlightenment and meaning. Others heard their words, looked down and they too saw their navels and marveled at the words of wisdom and insight provided by the learned academy as to the meanings now revealed that they had heretofore not known. As both groups gorged themselves on expanding insight, and dollars, their bellies grew and their navels revealed even more lint, er, insight and meaning. One great big co-dependent party mightily invested in maintaining their dysfunction.

I do not know any thinker, other than those who followed the pioneers I'm citing, who questioned philosophical fundamentals of mental disease and addiction, as Dr. Peele does and as my sweet, kind friend, the genius Thomas Szasz (RIP) did in his monumental works (R.D Laing was a loon): "Why I A So Sad (& It’s Not Because Of Libya, Israel Or 9/11)" I'm not looking for exposes; I'm looking for analytical truth to bolster the empirical. That's my method; it's theirs.

Dr. Anthony Daniels, psychiatrist, whose pen name is Theodore Dalrymple, has done great work on the addiction industry, as well as on the failures of psychiatry.
