"There is a growing tendency in our society to medicalize problems that are not medical, to find psychopathology where there is only pathos," complain Kutchins and Kirk.
Kutchins and Kirk cite a particularly amusing example of such disputes: Robert Spitzer, the man in charge of DSM-III , was sitting down with a committee that included his wife, in the process of composing a criteria-set for Masochistic Personality Disorder--a disease that was suggested for, but never made it into, the DSM-III-R (a revised edition).
To Kutchins and Kirk, this kind of ad hoc list-making is not science but politics.
Kutchins and Kirk like to refer to the DSM as "psychiatry's bible," implying that it inspires reverence and is in need of suspicious interpretation, but the DSM is better described as psychiatry's dictionary.
To assume, though, as do Kutchins, Kirk, and many other left-oriented critics, that psychiatry is an inherently sinister enterprise, and that diagnosis--labeling people--is mean, is to ignore many of the ways psychiatry is used.
