Do you think that contemporary psychiatric treatments are based on a firm scientific understanding of how the brain-mind operates? Don't be fooled. Psychiatry's scientific grasp of human thought and behavior is woefully sparse, and greatly oversold. But in order to understand the gross deficiencies of psychiatry's knowledge base, you first need to have a clear understanding of how all scientific knowledge is acquired and confirmed. Dr. Minot runs through a brief review of the scientific method, and explains how psychiatry consistently falls short.
