Case histories written by psychiatrists function…to control, define and constrain…to serve the interest of professionals…the case history [seizes] the patients subjectivity, twisting and molding it for it’s own purposes….Academic writing in psychiatry, which is stylistically detached and objective, purports to tell the truth, but it hides the identity of a narrator who is telling a story about someone else.
