Does psychiatry have a future? Assailed from many directions, under constant attack for its reliance on "a drug for all problems" and increasingly unable to attract bright new trainees, the specialty is showing every sign of terminal decline. The reason is simple: modern psychiatry has no formal model of mental disorder to guide its daily practice, teaching and research. Unfortunately, the orthodox psychiatrists who control this most conservative profession are utterly antagonistic to criticism. Despite the evidence, they maintain a blind faith that "science will deliver the goods" by a bio

In 1940, a brilliant young student found a flaw in Einstein’s calculations for special relativity and within four years, a new set of equations emerged describing what he call "Autodynamics". Finally, after over 50 years of brilliant work, a book has emerged from what many are calling the genius mind of the physics for the next millennium: physicist and PH.D. Dr. Ricardo Carezani. His theory describes everything from the smallest sub-atomic particles to super structures in the universe, whose implications include the lifting of the light speed barrier, a description for a mechnis
