Sadness Business
The DSM-5 Scandal
Patrick Landman, Audrey Keysers, Simon Critchley
Have you lost a loved one? Your sadness becomes depression. Is your child a little too lively? He could be a danger to society. Do you have a fondness for cakes? You suffer from a psychiatric disorder. The new single thought in terms of mental health, enacted by the publication of an international guide, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, is authoritative and obscures therapeutic listening in favor of the drug response: its latest version, the DSM -5, lists more than 350 diseases. Patrick Landman denounces the excesses of such a stranglehold: the field of normality is shrinking and we all become potential users of psychotropic substances, even madmen.
