Allen Frances
Allen J. Frances (born 1942 in Thessaloniki, Greece) is an American psychiatrist best known for chairing the task force that produced the fourth revision of ''Diagnostic and Statistical Manual'' (DSM-IV) and for his critique of the current version, DSM-5. He warns that the expanding boundary of psychiatry is causing a diagnostic inflation that is swallowing up normality and that the over-treatment of the "worried well" is distracting attention from the core mission of treating the more severely ill. In 2013, Frances said that "psychiatric diagnosis still relies exclusively on fallible subjective judgments rather than objective biological tests".
==Education and career==
Frances was born in Thessaloniki, Greece, in 1942. He received his bachelor's degree in pre-med and economics from Columbia College in 1963; his MD from Downstate Medical Center in 1967; completed his psychiatric residency at the Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center and New York State Psychiatric Institute in 1971; and received a certificate in psychoanalytic medicine from the Columbia University Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research 1978. His early career was spent at Cornell University Medical College where he rose to the rank of professor, headed the outpatient department, saw patients, taught, established a brief therapy program, and developed research specialty clinics for schizophrenia, depression, anxiety disorders, and AIDS. Throughout his academic career, Frances was an active investigator and prolific author in a surprisingly wide range of clinical areas including personality disorders, chronic depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, AIDS, and psychotherapy. His book on ''Differential Therapeutics'' tried to bring specificity and evidence to decisions on how best to match patient and treatment. His recognition of therapeutic limits resulted in the 1981 paper ''No Treatment as the Prescription of Choice.'' Dr Frances was the founding editor of two journals that have become standards: The ''(Journal of Personality Disorders )'' and the ''(Journal of Psychiatric Practice )''. And in 1991, he became chairman of the Department of Psychiatry at Duke University School of Medicine where he helped to expand the research, training, and clinical programs that had been initiated by his predecessor as chair, Dr Bernard Carroll.
