It gets worse. Dr. Allen Frances isn’t some outlier with a degree from the University of Lower Slobovia. He was a professor at Cornell and chaired the psychiatry department at Duke, where he is now a professor emeritus.
Born in 1942, he’s a respected elder statesman of psychiatry. He chaired the task force that drafted the fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV). He was a critic of the current DSM-5, which he argued placed too much reliance on psychiatrists’ subjective judgments.
About four years ago, I read Dr. Frances’ critique of the DSM-5 drafting process, titled: “Saving Normal: An Insider’s Revolt Against Out-of-Control Psychiatric Diagnosis, DSM-5, Big Pharma, and the Medicalization of Ordinary Life.”
It was an engaging read, and I got the impression that Dr. Frances was an old-fashioned liberal but one still firmly grounded in reality.
Sad how one quote can make you lose all respect for someone in an instant. But those are the insane times in which we live.
The loony left and their endless false narratives. How sad is it that they have a forum to spout such lies? How frightening is it they have an audience to give them support?
They are not a news network, its clear.
Physician, heal thyself.
Surely there is a libel suit built into this crazy woman’s rant?
Roll out the lawyers, POTUS!
Sue her ass!
1 MAO ZEDONG - 60 million - possibly 100 million 2 JOSEPH STALIN - 40 million possibly up to 75 million 3 ADOLF HITLER -30 million 4. DONALD TRUMP -0 deaths, and not a dictator, but 40 million people off of welfare and working, so I guess that's like killing people...from being worked to death...with a paycheck and weekends off...and maybe even a dental plan..
This is where I get pissed. How is it Trump is so evil and has no associated deaths, but the Clinton's are loved by the media and have killed more people than Cecil B.DeMille?
Trump is responsible for upwards of 250 million dead? Seriously?
I suppose it’s a good thing that they’re not in any field requiring mathematics.

Lazy finger syndrome.
When you look at these deceivers education credentials It all becomes clear...
If we ever give our guns up there will be genocide in this country. And I mean that seriously.
He could also be reasonable for curing all cancer and insect born diseases.
The whole psychic profession is riddled with crackpots...
