Bookforum - A psychiatry of tomorrow

A cool list of links from BookForum, the best daily collection of cool links on the web.

A new issue of The New School Psychology Bulletin is out. From Psychiatric Times, why is the DSM Classification so messy and atheoretical? Because none of the theories is proven and widely accepted; here are two perspectives on DSM5 and the medicalization of grief and a history of the DSM5 controversy; a psychiatry of tomorrow: DSM-5 and beyond; a review of The Rise and Fall of the Biopsychosocial Model by S. Nassir Ghaemi; should psychiatry and neurology merge as a single discipline?; and why aren’t there any celebrity psychiatrists? From The Psychologist, Viren Swami and Rebecca Coles look at belief in conspiracy theories; Martin Monti and Adrian Owen go looking for consciousness; Christian Jarrett examines the psychology of the impostor phenomenon; have our minds evolved to see human beings as types of artefacts? Jesse Bering investigates; Hyunjin Song and Norbert Schwarz describe some fascinating findings on how fluency affects judgement, choice and processing style; and Arthur Miller on a meeting of minds between Carl Jung and Wolfgang Pauli. The Occult World of CG Jung: How a near-death experience transformed the psychologist's attitude to the world of mysticism and magic. A review of 50 Great Myths of Popular Psychology: Shattering Misconceptions About Human Behavior by Scott Lilienfeld, Steve Jay Lynn, John Ruscio, and Barry Beyenstein (and more).
