"Have Tips become a whining group?" Michael- I do agree with your point that psychiatrists are medically trained so likely to be influenced by their "education". But I think Chris' point was that APA claims to be an independent and "scientifically objective" group. To the extent that much of their funding is from the pharmaceutical industry which the APA purports to provide objective evaluation toward, then there is a likely compromised objectivity.
I tend to agree that expecting psychiatrists to be "objective" is problematic as a perusal of their journal offerings will likely result in skepticism of their grasp of scientific research practice (yes, there are exceptions but the norm is rather poor as there are obvious examples of psychology research that is poor I think the norm is better though not as good as one would prefer).
