Thanks SLS.
There are different groups of people who hang out on different boards, Bob.
There are people over on the main Babble board who seem happy to have these conversations with me over on the main Babble board but I never see them on psychology and I very rarely see them on Social.
Because typically Social is about... Just being social.
I am having difficulty seeing why you want stuff that mentions a multi-levelled approach to go on the social board.
You have already split the 'good medicine' 'bad medicine' by seperating the side effects from the reccomendations. While I understand that some people do manage to find the withdrawal board so they can make a better informed decision about their medication I'm sure it is also true that other people don't.
I was talking very abstractly about approaches that are holistic rather than solely focused on biological treatment. I provided examples of other levels of intervention solely with the intention of clarifying what I meant by a level and in order to delimit the concerns of the biomedical paradigm. I wasn't going to go on about alternative treatments like particular varieties of therapy or sociological interventions. I was more interested in the abstract issue of how these different levels of explanation / theoretical frameworks relate to one another.
People posted to the thread. I guess that means they were happy with it. People can ignore the thread should they choose and it seems that some other people did that too.
If I had posted to the social board do you think I would have been able to talk to the people I got to talk to? No. It would have been a very different thread indeed.
By the way... You might want to think about whether you are catering mostly for Americans or whether you consider this board to be more internationally oriented. As an example, you talk a lot about not importing into the US medications that haven't been authorised... Surely you don't want people of other countries importing meds that are illegal either? Just one e.g., of cultural bias on the boards... You should really put a little note at the top of the politics board so that people understand that your priority is sanctioning statements that might lead americans to feel accused or put down...
