The post made in america… was about Peter Parry’s paper, Biologism in Psychiatry: A Young Man’s Experience of Being Diagnosed with “Pediatric Bipolar Disorder”. It’s a case study written as an interview of the patient himself about his lost adolescence as a Bipolar Child patient, with Peter’s thoughtful analysis of the case and the whole issue of Pediatric Bipolar Disorder. In the comments, Sandra Steingard and I were discussing the difficult topics of Projective Identification and “Munchausen’s by Proxy.” Then we we got some help from an unexpected source, the patient himself identified in the paper by the pseudonym Adam. His comments are quite clarifying, located on-line here.
