Guest guest Posted February 14, 2001 Report Share Posted February 14, 2001 Could you elaborate more on this, I guess I missed some pervious discussion? >>>>>No you did not. What I am saying is that CM and Biomedicine have a totally different orientation and understanding of health and disease. Although one may use theoretical overlaps by looking at symptoms and signs, as I point out in my own books they should be viewed w/ great caution. Because the biomedical model is based on a pathological model (when possible) w/ a specific " lesion " that then has a particular prognosis etc. to just plug in overlapping symptoms and theorize an outcome is not valid. To me clinical studies is the bringing that is needed to make any such process valid. The Chinese Medical Psychiatry book does this, however, at least in 1985 when I was in China I witnessed (first hand) to complete fabrication of studies and case histories published in professional journals. The dangers of trying to interpit S/S complexes in the above book is especially ironic to me in the Somataform Disorders chapter, which is an oxymoron in CM because of the lack of duality it CM theory.
