New ways to see the madness

Hello, today I´m going to talk to you about an article of The Gardian, the article is:  The rebellious psychiatrists who helped me see beyond the myths and stigma of mental illness, by David Shariatmadari, The Guardian, Sunday 25 August 2013. This article is so close of my career so, I think it was so important to me, because usually we don’t see so many articles about psychology or Psychiatry, and if we can see one of these subjects, usually don’t criticize the discipline. The special of this article is the author, he write accepting he has a history whit mental illness. He begins with the diagnosis theme, for example, in schizophrenia don´t exist some laboratory test to confirm the diagnosis, so many Doctors are critical at the medical model in madness. It say us, mental illness are of the person, no one have fault, it´s just biological. Here the journalist investigates about some psychiatrist that says the family ant the environment is responsible of madness, and he mention how the parents of Maya (a little patient in the books of Lang) achieves turn she crazy, by mystification, they say her she was bad, nevertheless she wasn´t bad. This contribution, before was unbelieves for the psy-world (psychiatrist and psychologists), but, nowadays this theories are very popular in this world, the psy-word isn’t the final word, but the people believes in they. It´s important all this contribution, because, the way of treatments has been change for this contributions.  See you next week.
