Abuse in child psychiatry
Article Abstract:
Louise Armstrong's book 'And They Call It Help' reveals the pitfalls in the treatment of children with mental problems and criticizes the assumptions which advocate false medical practices. The book focuses on all issues concerned with psychiatric care including the financial and ethical aspects. The book, which presents the scenario in psychiatric care through the narratives of the abused children and doctors' account of their treatment, clearly reveals that the medical system lacks compassion and clarity.
