> The denial phase is over. We're in the over-correcting phase, where every person alive is an abuse survivor of varying seriousness. For what it's worth I'm not a cynical person against psychology, and I read both the DSM and the ICD front to back every time a revision comes out. But with every revision, especially for the DSM, I become more concerned that we're creeping towards the "everybody suffers from a multitude of disorders therefore nobody does" territory which will bring us right back to ignoring people who need help. | ||

> where every person alive is an abuse survivor of varying seriousness An odd way to frame it but probably true. > which will bring us right back to ignoring people who need help That does not follow - if the environmental sources are known, people (especially teachers and social workers) can look out for them and take measures to improve the outcome for the child. And this is what I'm seeing right now. See it on a societal scale - for the same effort put into raising kids, you get more functional adults. | ||
