Look I know that psychs are underpaid. I know its a tough job that can be unrewarding.
But you guys have absolutely NO BUSINESS making up BS theories so you can get paid a fat retainer by defense lawyers.
I wonder how much Monte Buchsbaum got paid for whoring himself out to these lawyers. Apparently they pay pretty good, because Monte has done this sort of thing before.
Here he is again whoring himself out as an "expert" witness for defense lawyers: http://www.almexperts.com/ExpertWitness/experts_and_consultants/expert/5247912.html
Monte Buchsbaum should have his license revoked and his affiliations with all psychiatric organizations terminated. Its time to start treating these punks with BS junk science theories as the garbage they are.
Here's an in depth article about how con-men like Buschbaum fabricated evidence so they could get a fat pay day from teh lawyers. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1272/is_2706_132/ai_114740974/pg_1
I submit to you that right now I could walk into Buschbaum's office or any other psychiatrist for that matter and in a span of 2 hours have them absolutely convinced that I'm insane.
There's a lot of good science going on in psychiatry, but you guys have absolutely NO BUSINESS in a courtroom.
The expert who conducted Mr. Braunsteins PET scans, Monte S. Buchsbaum, a professor of psychiatry at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, has worked with other high-profile defendants, including Vincent Gigante, the Mafia leader. Mr. Gigante was known for wandering Greenwich Village in a bathrobe and slippers, and prosecutors accused him of faking mental illness to avoid prosecution. Dr. Buchsbaum testified in 1997 that brain images showed Mr. Gigante suffered from dementia.
In 2003, Mr. Gigante pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice, admitting he tried to outsmart the legal system by pretending he was mentally ill. Dr. Buchsbaum said in an interview last week that he stands by his diagnosis of Mr. Gigante, who died in 2005, and that he considered the guilty plea to be a legal maneuver.
