[IP] more on Mental Health Screening for All Americans Proposed?
I believe this is not a political issue but a classic case where both
sides of oure political process should have much to fear .

This report is the beginning of a tragedy if the kind of approach it
suggests is followed through. The core and root of its tragedy is a
simple
but stunningly important falsehood: without a "true" model of the human
mind, defining mental health is an exercise in authoritarian opinion.
There
is no such model which uniformly predicts phenomena and explains
observed
phenomena. Yet without such a model the industry has no business
posing as
the source of authority for governmental interference in individual
lives.
