Ablow shrugged -- A look back at America's mental health breakdown 15 years ago
From the article...
"I hadn't gotten a lot of sleep, partly because I finally reached page 1,168 around midnight, partly because I couldn't get my mind off John Galt, Hank Rearden, Francisco d'Anconia, Dagny Taggart and the rest of Rand's characters. Before I drifted off, I was already drawing parallels between the current state of psychiatry and Rand's fictional world in which the mind is denigrated, and autonomy and free will nearly stamped out."

It has been almost impossible to stay in business with the law suits and malpractice insurance, which is why so many offices have so many doctors in them, sharing the expences. And hey, who wants a doctor that really didn't pass the test, but got extra points for racial-preferences .... where does it stop ???| Permalink
