They Say You're Crazy

How are decisions made about who is normal? As a former consultant to those who construct the "bible of the mental-health professions," the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), Paula Caplan offers an insider's look at the process by which decisions about abnormality are made. A longtime specialist in teaching and writing about research methods, Caplan assesses the astonishing extent to which scientific methods and evidence are disregarded as the handbook is developed and revised.

המשפט הראשון: If we allow others to decide whether or not we are normal, we lose the power to define, to judge, and, often, to respect ourselves.
