I feel you are being a bit unfair towards postmodernism. I know in a lot of circles it's become a dirty word, and I also understand the need to distance oneself from it, but most of what people say about postmodernism is based on distortions and often-repeated misconceptions which have very little to do with any major theorists associated with it. I would like to offer at least a couple of points in its defense: 1) Language matters in so far as the DSM is concerned because ultimately these disorders and the DSM itself are made of language. There's no escaping this. That it no way equates to them not being "real" ( a pernicious concept), but a diagnosis can't somehow transcend the very material in which it is expressed. Even if there is a physical or chemical component, these same phenomena could be grouped and conceptualized differently and generally are over time. Certain biochemical or physical symptoms will be combined differently under a new heading, based on a whole host of other factors. 2) I'll admit I'm a rather large fan of Deleuze & Guattari, the sort of radical ideas floating around France in the late 1960s and early 70s. Guattari had been a favorite student of Lacan before turning on him and psychoanalysis and Freudianism on whole which thoroughly dominated France. I'm far less of an expert on this subject, but Freud was way more popular in Europe than he ever was in the US. Anyhow, the stated goal was to do for Freud what Marx had done to Adam Smith, which amounted to inverting the entire system. Rather than looking at the ways in which everything traced back to Oedipus, the triangle of mommy-daddy-me, they advocated for letting madness itself determine what should be done (hence calling it "schizoanalysis"). There are plenty of problems with this, and there's a rather long book about the experimental clinic they tried to run which I've been meaning to read some day. It's worth mentioning that this has a lot in common with what Foucault was trying to do at the time, showing in "Madness and Civilization" that the entire concept of what mental illness was was determined by historical and political factors and had changed greatly over time. Apologies for the length of that comment.

Hey Patron Jed! Good to hear from you again. Forgive me, I forget what I said. What did I say that indicated I thought postmodernism was a dirty word and should be distanced from?
