Does Psychiatry Have a Split Personality?
Mental health is a significant national issue, yet psychiatry still remains suspect as a science. In fact, psychiatry is said to have a 'split personality,' with the traditional psychiatrists and psychologists on one side and the high-tech medical scientists also called the biomedical psychiatrists on the other side. Do these new techniques tip the scale and put psychiatry into the realm of science and take it out of the realm of philosophy? Nancy C. Andreasen, Editor-in-Chief, The American Journal of Psychiatry; Robert Epstein, Editor-in-Chief, Psychology Today; and Peter Loewenberg, Southern California Psychoanalytic Institute join host Robert Kuhn to debate the science of mental health.
