practice of Ayur-Veda is nothing more than palpable balderdash. Any thoughtful individual spending a few moments reading this article would come to a similar conclusion. Though freedom of the press and expression of differing viewpoints is guaranteed by the Constitution, the legitimization of quackery is unacceptable. This article attempts to do precisely that.Perhaps my greatest fear is that the federal government will mistake this article for legitimate medicine and issue new ICD-9 and CPT codes for Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Of even greater concern would be the inevitable inclusion of Ayur-Veda in the Medicare program. It would not be the first time that a system of health care based on a whimsical theory, unsupported by scientific evidence, became legitimized and incorporated into Medicare at great public expense.

Over the past two decades American psychiatrists have had to address the emergence of an increasingly fervent religious pluralism. Particularly in cases of socially controversial new religious movements (NRMs), distressed families have pressured psychiatrists to assess the mental state of recruits to such sects, often labeled "cults." At this inevitably acrimonious interface between family values and religious liberties, psychiatrists have for the most part resisted pressures to medicalize religious conversions. This article provides an historical review of American psychiatric response to NRMs with respect to nosology and practice. It introduces this response in the more general context of ethics and the problematics of respect for religious meanings.
