And today I want to tell you about Julia.....

For me, this seminar was a breath of fresh air which I continued to reflect upon as I drove

"Saving Normal" Dr Allen Frances
"Human difference was never meant to be reducible to an exhaustive list of diagnoses drawn carelessly from a psychiatric manual. It takes all types to make a successful tribe and a full palette of emotions to make a fully lived life. We shouldn't medicalize difference and attempt to treat it away by taking the modern-day equivalent of Huxley's soma pills. The cruelest paradox of psychiatric treatment is that those who need it most often don't get it, while those who do get it often don't need it. So how do we save normal, preserve diversity, and achieve a more rational allocation of scarce resources?" - from Saving Normal.
