Barry Blackwell: The Baby and the Bathwater

Jay Amsterdam’s reply to Bruno Mueller-Oerlinghausen’s comment on Amsterdam’s comment on Edward Shorter’s comment 

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful response. I am so glad that you found these most recent revelations on the corruption of clinical trials research and academic misconduct to be worthwhile to the field.

In this regard, I am taking the liberty of providing you twoadditional sourcesof a similar nature that may be of interest,although theyhave received less attention in the psychiatric and academic communities. These cases are no less egregious and corrosive toward evidence-based psychiatric medicine than the CIT-MD-18 case.
