Description: |
The negative consequences of psychiatric diagnosis range from loss of custody of a child to denial of health insurance and employment. This work explores how gender, race, social class, age, physical disability, and sexual orientation affect the classification of human beings into psychiatric categories. |
Synopsis: |
Bias in Psychiatric Diagnosis is the first book about how gender, race, social class, age, physical disability, and sexual orientation affect the classification of human beings into psychiatric categories. This is a hot topic addressed to the public's right to know, especially because the negative consequences of psychiatric diagnosis range from loss of custody of a child to denial of health insurance and employment to removal of one's right to make decisions about one's legal affairs. |
