✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Prescribing drugs for mental disorders by psychologists means accepting an invalid model—the brain disease, biological‐defect explanation of psychopathology—that is advanced by political conservatives and accepted by some naive, well‐intentioned, but misinformed moderates who have not thought critically about the issue. Conservative psychiatry serves the ruling class by rejecting or ignoring the fact that most mental disorders are learned in the context of social and economic injustice, and familiar dysfunction. If we accept the fallacy of brain disease and genetic defect as the major causes of mental disorder and succeed in getting prescription privileges we will have sold our soul to the devil! © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
