Sunday, July 18, 2004Dr. Mosher was convinced that supportive, social relationships could help his patients rebound from psychosis. He viewed the illness as a coping mechanism, a response to years of various traumatic events that caused the person to retreat from reality. "Basically what they're saying is: 'Hey, folks, I'm out of here. I'm constructing this world as it pleases me, and I don't need to pay attention to that world out there. I'm going to live in this one because that one out there hurts,' " he said in a 2003 interview with the San Diego Weekly Reader. ...In his later years, Dr. Mosher wrote and spoke widely about his cynicism toward the pharmaceutical industry's influence on physicians. He resigned from the American Psychiatric Association in 1998, citing an "unholy alliance" between psychiatrists and drug makers. Dr. Mosher is gone, but the unholy alliance lives on. posted by Sydney on 7/18/2004 11:36:00 PM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
