Why psychiatrists can’t stop mass killings
 
Following the recent mass killings, there has been a lot of talk of gun control and even more talk about mental healthcare. However, just what can be done outside of knee-jerk, feel-good reactions that has been proposed so far?

According to Arthur Berg, a former associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, not much outside of making sure that potential victims can defend themselves.

Why psychiatrists can’t stop mass killings

By Arthur Berg and John R. Lott Jr. June 1, 20
