EMDR FORUM ARCHIVE, 2000
Response to this criticism.

Science cannot exist without taxonomies of classification. Our disease model has its flaws and limitations no doubt, most especially from a trauma perspective. Many of the Axis I and Axis II disorders follow as posttraumatic sequelae. That perspective runs parallel with biological psychiatry, which leans towards genetic causes. But your point is a different one. You are suggesting that to use a taxonomy is itself offensive or unprofessional. Its not - its what we do to make sure we are treating people properly. But I can imagine such talk can be unsettling in this forum. This forum was originally intended to be for professionals only, and Dr Shapiro opened it up to the public when so many people wanted to post here. I disagree with your position on this Dr's post. It is completely appropriate for us to discuss differential diagnosis here, though we don't do case consultations per se. I do think our posts should involve EMDR one way or another.
