Don't worry too much about being politically correct. There are already a ton of serious clinical and/or social books on the subject. Maybe somebody out there needs this kind of perspective to learn just as much someone else might need the serious treatment of it. Allow me to use an analogy. Have you ever been taught a certain aspect of a subject in school, say mathematics, and the teacher just couldn't get the idea through but later a peer of yours explains the exact same idea and you get it . I think the same could be said of the psychologists and psychiatrist in this situation. Although they may be academically brilliant and have had the experience of many clients, they may not have the perspective of "being there" that you have; or, it's been so long since their experience that they're no longer the peers of their reading audience and can't relate to them anymore.
