Karl Popper's FALSIFIABILITY theory - though primarily intended to apply to the natural sciences - can obviously apply to the so-called human and social sciences.
The "social sciences" are of course riven with filosofical difficulties.
Popper was concerned with these with reference to politics and political change.
In terms of (what remains of) Medicine the proposition that someone has a "mental illness" in strict reference to Popper's theory would mean that the only way that this presumably scientific proposition can be accepted by a scientist is if it can be FALSIFIED.
Given that "Mental Illness" is declared to be present in someone on a totally arbitrary basis the full horror of the evil that this non-ideology is, is revealed quite quickly by Popper's thorts on science.
FALSIFIABILITY is always ultimately denied by Psychiatric DIKTAT.
"Psychiatry" is effectively the same thing as NAZISM. A monstrous tryranny.
Not popular here in England!...
It could get worse.
Stop it before it does!.....
If someone declares person X to have "Mental Illness" Y - how would this be FALSIFIED rather than PROVEN?.....
"Mental Illness" can never be falsified for it is always and by definition the arbitrary declaration of someone about someone else.
Therefore it fails Popper's test with flying colours. It is not science at all!
