Psychiatrist Allen Frances is a crazy people.
He should see shrink.....
This person needs help.
It sounds like he needs to go see a psychiatrist. What a nutjob.
His E-mail address to Duke is no longer functioning.
They're looney to begin with. That's why they went into psychiatry.
When Stelter doesn't even question the veracity of his statement, you know CNN is all in with this garbage.
“Frances said that “psychiatric diagnosis still relies exclusively on fallible subjective judgments rather than objective biological tests”
Isn’t following his own advice
Quack should be on the prohibited to purchase list for firearms, no fly list and be barred from practicing medicine. He is nuts.
I have argued this time and time again.
If Trump were a dictator, wouldn’t the Left and the people who criticize him be in Dachau type of camps being turned into lamp shades and ashes? Or the upper reaches of Alaska being starved to death like the Soviet Gulags?
The left can or won’t ever answer my question.
he belongs in a looney bin
You are absolutely correct. I was an elected county commissioner for almost two decades in a populous northern state. During my years-long stint on an oversight committee I reviewed many, many resumes of applicants for psychiatry jobs at the large county prison and also the county hospital/convalescent home complex.
The resumes showed that an extremely high percentage of applicants had been in some kind of psychiatric/psychological treatment earlier in their lives.
The rest probably were lying about it, LOL..... and I'm only partially joking.

The key is the word “MAY” Trump MAY be responsible...
I think they could put out a headline about me, “62 year old fat slightly balding Iowa Man MAY date and marry Jennifer Anniston.” Sure, it MAY happen. In fact, I’d say the odds are about the same as the Hitler Stalin Mao statement. Maybe a bit higher...
Allen has been gone from Duke for many years. They have been through many chairs since him.
I forwarded the link to several psychiatrists on the Duke faculty. The article is destroying him, even with the people who agree with him.
It gets worse. Dr. Allen Frances isn’t some outlier with a degree from the University of Lower Slobovia. He was a professor at Cornell and chaired the psychiatry department at Duke, where he is now a professor emeritus.
Born in 1942, he’s a respected elder statesman of psychiatry. He chaired the task force that drafted the fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV). He was a critic of the current DSM-5, which he argued placed too much reliance on psychiatrists’ subjective judgments.
About four years ago, I read Dr. Frances’ critique of the DSM-5 drafting process, titled: “Saving Normal: An Insider’s Revolt Against Out-of-Control Psychiatric Diagnosis, DSM-5, Big Pharma, and the Medicalization of Ordinary Life.”
It was an engaging read, and I got the impression that Dr. Frances was an old-fashioned liberal but one still firmly grounded in reality.
Sad how one quote can make you lose all respect for someone in an instant. But those are the insane times in which we live.
Cornell is the equivalent of Lower Slobabovia. It is not really America but in the New york boondocks.
It is so libral nobody goes there any more
He is also pretty old and might be mentally slipping
The loony left and their endless false narratives. How sad is it that they have a forum to spout such lies? How frightening is it they have an audience to give them support?
