At the risk of attracting "How dare you belittle mental illness" which I most certainly am not, ok, from what I understand about the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders the session "11.40 - 12.30 A Critical Realist Response to The DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders). Professor David Pilgrim. could just consist of the Prof. thumbing through the manual at random and inviting those assembled to declare whether the "category of illness" described on the pages the Prof happens to alight upon are A "real", B "made up in the US to fit a use for a pharmaceutical product",or C "made up in the US to increase and retain client footfall in the surgeries of psychiatrists" or D "a combination of B and C" ..
Who do I see the phrase "critical realist perspective" and immediately think "far-left whacko"?
Rabbit.
I saw that and thought that. It will be about obscuring things to provide safer sinecures.
