Adopting Children of Another Race

[Minimalist]

It's a quote from John Rosemond, a psychologist:

In the 1960s, American parents began looking to mental health professionals for child-rearing advice.  Since then, an exponential per-capita increase in child mental health professionals has matched a dramatic deterioration in child mental health.  No new therapy or drug has stopped this downward trend.

John Rosemond

I see several things wrong with the quote, but the most prominent one is it uses the same kind of argument that vaccine denialists use with autism. They see an increase in the number of cases of autism being diagnosed, and magically link it to vaccines, when the accepted theory is just that we've gotten better at diagnosing autism (not to mention, autism is a spectrum, there are levels of severity). I expect the same thing is happening with the deterioration in child mental health, it's not that mental health professionals are causing it, but that they are simply more capable of diagnosing it that they were 50 years ago.

However the quote is without references, so I'd quite like to see any evidence for the contrary.

This is a longish discussion of part of the problem.  The overuse of medications on children.
