| Title: | The Bioethics of Diagnosis: A Biocultural Critique of Certainty |
| Author(s): | Davis, Lennard J. |
| Subject(s): |
Obsessive-compulsive disorder
Biopower Psychiatric disorders Diagnosis |
| Abstract: | This article argues that traditional models of diagnosis are incomplete in their reliance on a models of certainty that are no longer tenable in a postmodern world. Further, it argues that the current form of diagnosis, as applied to psychiatric and affective disorders, reduces patient agency and reinscribes the effects of biopower. |
