1/6 SOCIAL HISTORY OF PSYCHIATRY IN BRITAIN During the last decade, I have (co)written some short pieces and coedited a book on the topic. Here I bring them together. The papers sketch an outline/ skeleton of recent history and the open access book gives a detailed account.

Why I routinely under-diagnose: 1)Initial impressions often wrong 2)We see patients on worst day- doesnt extrapolate to future 3)Easy to later up diagnose 4)Hard to erase wrong label 5)Harms of overdiagnosis far worse- stigma/meds 6)I wish all diagnosis could be written in pencil

MMark L. Ruffalo@MarkLRuffalo · Apr 19

Classic paper from 1988 on "deliberate misdiagnosis," which, as the name implies, reflects the practice of knowingly and intentionally rendering an inaccurate psychiatric diagnosis. My sense is that this is a pervasive practice today, rationalized by some clinicians to avoid…

Kraepelin was both best & worst thing that ever happened to psychiatry. Best: 1)Careful observation 2)Clever classification 3)Biological roots Worst: 1)Disdained psycho/social causation & treatments 2)Reified diagnostic constructs into diseases 3)Spawned eugenics/Nazi psychiatry

Thank you Marius. You talk was both graceful and incisive. An excellent contribution to what was an enthusiastically received first day. Hope to make recording of both days available for online view soon 😀

MMarius Turda@mariusturda · Mar 7

Grateful to @GMilavic and @gikkos1 for the invitation to participate in their conference #AfterKraepelin hosted by @RoySocMed. My paper on the legacies of eugenics in psychiatry elicited a good debate. Also thanks to my colleagues in @rcpsychHoPSIG (Graham, Claire, John & Peter).
