Episode notes
Caution Against DSM Overuse
- DSM categories are constructs, not independent diseases needing distinct treatments.
- Over-diagnosis and polypharmacy are major risks from careless use of DSM.
Neglecting the Severely Ill
- Psychiatry over-diagnoses mild illness but neglects severely ill patients.
- Hundreds of thousands with severe illness are mistreated or homeless/prison-bound.
Therapists Are Born, Not Made
- Good therapists combine innate skills and early nurturing; training can enhance or hurt skills.
- Avoid rote technique application; focus on improving interpersonal sensitivity and authentic connection.
