[/url]I don’t think I agree with that at all, Clayton. Behavior is a product of the brain, and while it might not be classified as a ‘disease’ strictly speaking, it can easily be the product of an illness. Blaming the parent or environment is easy, but often wrong. For example, read ‘Phantoms in the Brain’ or any neuroscience book about how different brains (including damaged ones) influence behavior.

From page 273 of The Myth Of Mental Illness, 2010 edition:

I took up the profession of psychiatry in part to combat the contention that abnormal behaviors are the products of abnormal brains.
