The Fraud of Psychiatric Testimony

Dr. Margaret Hagen, Ph.D., lecturer in psychology at Boston University and author of Whores of the Court Whores of the Court, The Fraud of Psychiatric Testimony and the Rape of American Justice is forthright about psychiatrists and psychologists redefining criminal behavior as “disease”: “Why not just flip pennies or draw cards? Why not put on a blindfold and choose without being able to identify the patients? It could hardly hurt [a diagnostic] accuracy rate that hovers at less than one out of three times correct.…There is no psychological cure for the desire to beat up women, to rape and murder them. The very idea that [psychology] today could even pretend to such an ability is ludicrous.…”[i]
