Summary

When the public uses its clout to insist on use of the medical model, adding its considerable strength to existing imperatives for a new direction in psychiatry, then conservative medicine-practices at the expense of opportunities provided by modern medicine-will no longer be tolerated.

In Brain Basics, the following principles of behavior are discussed:

What is behavior?
What are the kinds of behavior?
What is psychosis?
Are psychosocial determinates the main determinates of behavior?
What are common illnesses one would expect to see?
How is a diagnosis made?
Can an individual see his/her own illness?
Can science be applied to psychiatry?
What is a systematic way of making a psychiatric diagnosis with an open model?
