> When questioned whether he felt there might be a biological basis to depression, Dr. Burns stated that “all psychiatrists are liars and their research is horseshit” concerning a biological basis to depression. Dr. Burns emphatically stated that “only our thoughts affect our moods.”
I think Dr. Burns is awefully biased and may overstate the efficacy of his methods, but I am skeptical that he actually said "all psychiatrist are liars..." It is highly unlikely, to me, that a CBT therapist would make a statement with so many thinking errors in it. I think the point of this editorial is right on the money, though.
