13 Robitscher, supra note 2, at 480–81, is even more complimentary toward law: “The medical model is authoritarian. Law, in some of its aspects is just the contrary, emphasizing protection from authority. Because law and psychiatry are so different, training is very different. Legal education tries to promote analytic ability and constant questioning whereas medical education emphasizes the respectful acceptance of what the lecturer presents as scientific fact. Lawyers are not insulted when they are challenged to give the basis of their opinions, but psychiatrists appear incensed when their conclusions are questioned or rejected.” See also infra text accompanying note 25.Google Scholar
