“The first dirty little secret of biological
psychiatry and of clinical psychology is that
they both have given up the notion of cure. Cure
takes too long if it can be done at all, and only
briet treatment is reimbursed by insurance
companies. So therapy and drugs are now entirely
about short -term crisis management and about
dispensing cosmetic treatments. …
“There are two kinds of medications: cosmetic
drugs and curative drugs. … Every single drug on
the shelf of the psychopharmacopoeia is cosmetic.
Seligman, Flourish, 2011, p 46
