Abstract

This article discusses the content of the book "PC, M.D.," which focuses on politically correct (PC) medicine. Chapter 1 examines the philosophy of PC medicine where it is forcefully articulated in schools of public health. Chapter 2 describes the reforms demanded by a group of people known as the last minority who are composed of former psychiatric patients who once used mental health services. Chapter 3 focuses on nurses who are oppressed. Chapter 4 focuses on women who claim mistreatment at the hands of male-oriented society. The final chapter explores the world of psychotherapy for victims.
