'Psychiatry Is Flawed And Rotten'

The first step is to understand the problems that people have with themselves. For example, an engineer is sent to speak with a psychiatrist in order to help solve the problem of his or her ego and lack of communication. According to the article “Psychiatry is Flawed and Rotten” by Phil Hickey (2013), modern psychiatry is flawed and rotten not because of the people who work as a psychiatrist, rather “that the philosophy to which almost all psychiatrists subscribe is spurious” (What I am saying, para. 12). The average psychiatric will tell his or her patients that they need to be open to others. Now that is complete nonsense because Hickey (2013) explains that:
[T]he psychiatric philosophy is disempowering. In the old days, the prevailing ethos …show more content…
Studies have shown that the majority of lessons and topics of ethics is presented towards the end of an engineering student’s education. Why? Well the fact is that most educational institution consider the topic as such a simple subject that professor will introduce later on, since they have more important topics to explain. That is entirely false; ethics has a major role not only in engineering but also in every other business, literature, or science topic. Without ethics, students would plagiarize their work in major English papers, business would cut corners and create money schemes and laundering, and scientists will steal work from others and not commemorate the research of other scientists. Now of course those who consider ethics as a major topic of discussion might also have a problem as to presenting the subject at hand. There really is no proper way to introduce ethics and with the changes in modern society and cultures, professors will have to look at different means of proposing ethics. Fortunately, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) has proposed to use a new style of ethics known as aspirational ethics. According to Mark Crawford’s article (2012) “Engineers Must Embrace Aspirational Ethics”:
Engineering ethics is shifting away from focusing on ethical problems from the …show more content…
According to Mr. Carpenter (2015), “People have their own paradigm on how to use the system of the working environment” (J. Carpenter, Personal Communication, February 4, 2015). What does that mean? People work in different ways and have different ideas, but that also means that people have certain egos and trust issues with one another which lead to problems in having a healthy working environment. Even though Mr. Carpenter was a former Northrop Grumman engineer for about thirty five years, he still does not work well with others and doesn’t tolerate egos that other people have. Yet at one point during his time with Northrop Grumman, he had to work with his boss in order to hire new employees for the new mechanical engineering division. They both had to be cautious about who to hire since they both had the final say on who they are going to work with. Since they did not want to deal with the problems of ego, Mr. Carpenter devised the idea of using interpersonal relationships as a means of determining who is qualified both mentally and socially in order to work in a healthy, open environment where everyone can communicate, express, and accept different ideas and points of views. “Be like the willow not the oak. Bend a little to understand the engineering process” (J. Carpenter, Personal Communication,
