A link to the original article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-20986796

Author: Peter Kinderman, Professor of Clinical Psychology -- "Prof Peter Kinderman is head of the Institute of Psychology, Health and Society at the University of Liverpool."

A quote: "Psychiatric diagnoses are not only scientifically invalid, they are harmful too."

I'm perpetually amazed at the speed with which any discussion of psychology's current problems is voted down, without any dialogue or reflection.
