Evidence: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Richardatlarge&oldid=124303650 What is not neutral list is flaunting his own writings and quotations, like "For DeGrandpre and Lindesmith both, this process of meaning-making unfolds in a cultural context, the power of which is greatly underestimated, both in the sciences and the wider culture. DeGrandpre writes in The Cult of Pharmacology, ...the opiate user must first experience withdrawal (a physical phenomenon), he or she must develop a concern over the withdrawal experience as such (a cognitive phenomenon), and then he or she must engage in drug use, taking opiates repeatedly to eliminate or avoid opiate withdrawal (a behavioral phenomenon). A breakdown in any part of this bio-psycho-social circuit can keep a pattern of dependent opiate use from emerging."

I strongly agree with the post above by Graywalls. Another example of inappropriate text is Tearing down the myth of hyperactivity as a medical disorder, DeGrandpre replaced it with a theory of sensory adaptation and addiction that, culture wide, has led to a transformation of human consciousness.
It is difficult to avoid the impression that the article, as written, is entirely promotional in intent. Axad12 (talk) 09:08, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
