Behaviorism and Mental Health takes note of a new blog by Jeffrey Lieberman, the president of the APA, in which he claims both that psychiatry has “nothing to be defensive about” and that he is excited about the prospects for transformation of the APA, with a new mission of “Recovery.” “… A huge departure from psychiatry’s insistence over the past four decades that the ‘illnesses’ they ‘treat’ are essentially incurable and can only be kept in remission by the uninterrupted ingestion of psychoactive pharmaceutical products as prescribed by a psychiatrist.”
