The pathology of liberalism
May 13, 2021
From the inception of psychology about 140 years ago, medical conditions such as autism, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, narcissism, Tourettes syndrome, even stuttering, were thought to be psychological in originand with enough therapy, enough blaming inadequate parenting, enough talk, enough delving into feelings, the sufferer could be treated successfully or even cured.
We now knowthanks to tools like PET scans and pharmaceutical advancesthat these conditions are largely biological in nature, more receptive to
medications augmented with behavioral-therapy techniques, than to any of the other therapies that were utilized so ineffectually on multimillions of people over the past many decades.
