The word 'analyst', nowadays is more likely to be associated with a business, or a technical problem then with the psyche. The deconstruction of the psyche has replaced the ability to understand it or cure it. Technicians are more likely to approach this understanding, with devices, drugs then trying to evaluate who is responsible for what went wrong, the patient or society. Current view in this is inconclusive , divided, or inconsequential.
I don't think it's such an easy thing to evaluate who is responsible for what went wrong -- laying blame -- I suppose that there is enough to go around for many in the field, and besides, doesn't that kind of remove the focus from what is the most important thing - the best treatment for the particular person - drugs or a combination of drugs and therapy or just plain therapy. It's not so easy is it?
I think that you need to know what CAUSES the different mental health problems in order to PREVENT these problems...
if you just treat symptoms you never can get down to cure....it isn't a matter of blame but identifying factors of causation...example would be sexual abuse of young persons causes problems later....if you just say the child imagined it..
well that just doesn't work anymore...
