   Parents who take their kids to psychologists don't want to be told   
   that the kid's poor behavior is the result of their poor parenting.   
   If the child's childlike behavior can be defined as an impressive,   
   medical-sounding "disorder," then the blame shifts from parent and   
   then from child to a no-fault mental disorder.   
      
   BTW, there was an article in this week's San Francisco Chronicle   
   about the biography of a man who survived a childhood lobotomy.  His   
   mother died and instead of helping him cope, his stepmom shipped him   
   off to a mental hygiene facility for shock treatment and eventual   
   lobotomy.  Today's psychiatry is so much more progressive, using   
   powerful psychotropic drugs to subdue the parts of the brain that   
   control emotion and personality and that used to be hacked away with   
   ice picks in less enlightened times.
