When psychiatrists do something right...

It humbles me to admit it, but American psychiatrists have done us all proud.

Ha! Turns out the BBC got it wrong - never ever ever trust the media.

A quick flick around the web and I have discovered that it was the American Psychological Association who made the announcement. See here for more info.

It just goes to show that the media don't show much concern for accuracy and more importantly, that psychologists are still leading the way on progressive values.

Now, to advocate that the BPS makes a similar statement! :D

Great news... hopefully US courts may actually look to fact and evidence to make decisions, but that is a lot to ask in the USA ! : )

They have been right before, I quoted them in an essay saying that there's no such thing as race...

Good folk, alas.

Did they really? Do you have a reference for it - I'd like to read what they said.

Psychologists always say such interesting and insightful things - not that I would be biased. Ho-hum.
