Standing Against Psychiatry???s Crazes

In 1979 Dr. Paul McHugh closed the sex-change clinic at Johns Hopkins. In the ???80s he testified against phony ???recovered memories.??? He hasn???t given up the fight.

You might have heard this joke: A man in a car gets a call from his wife. ???Honey, be careful,??? she says. ???A car is going the wrong way on the highway.??? He replies: ???It???s not just one car. It???s hundreds of them!???
If it were a psychiatrist joke, Paul McHugh, 87, could be that driver. A professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and a tenacious skeptic of the crazes that periodically overtake his specialty, Dr. McHugh has often served as psychiatry???s most outspoken critic. Either he???s crazy, or all the other psychiatrists are.
The best-known, and most controversial, decision of his professional life is newly relevant???and recently reversed. In 1979, as psychiatrist in chief at Johns Hopkins xxxxxxxxxxxx   Perhaps it occurs to him that his adversaries will read this article. He says, ???I hope I???m still standing when these forts fall.???
