LXX, no. 17 (2 November 2023), pp. 60–62. Psychiatrist [[Daniel Barron]] deplores psychiatry's reliance largely on subjective impressions of a patient's condition – on [[pattern recognition|behavioral-pattern recognition]] – whereas other medical specialties dispose of a more substantial armamentarium of objective diagnostic [[technologies]]. A psychiatric patient's [[diagnosis|diagnoses]], ofare necessity, isarguably more conspicuously in the eye of the psychiatric physician: "An [[anti-psychotic]] 'works' if a [psychiatric] patient ''looks and feels'' less [[psychotic]]." Barron suggestsposits that [[talking]] – an important featureaspect of psychiatric [[diagnostics]] and treatment – which necessarily involves vague, subjective [[language]], and therefore cannot reveal the [[brain]]'s objective workings. BarronHe hopestrusts to furnish psychiatry withthat [[Big Data]] technologies that wouldwill make psychiatric [[signs and symptoms]] more quantifiably objective. The reviewer, Sue Halpern, cautions, however, that "When numbers have no agreed-upon, scientifically-derived, extrinsic meaning, quantification is unavailing." (p. 62.)
