I understand your rant completely.
I'm lucky to have a therapist who doesn't believe that much in diagnosis and treatment by the books. Or rather, I think he starts out that way with each client. Straight by the books CBT. But he doesn't stick with it against evidence that something different is needed.
Maybe someday there will actually be more uniformity in psychiatry/psychology. To make it more like physics. And then all these tribulations will be seen as part of the development.
But I sort of hope not. I like to have the illusion that individuals are individuals. A lot more idiosyncratic than the subjects of some of the other sciences. :)
