Theory of Mind often refers to a quality of various types of psychological disorders. In this paper, I review some of the ways in which diagnosis has been used as a political tool and the means by which a seemingly "scientific" judgment can be influenced by potential benefits. My goal is to move the direction of the clinical gaze back upon the clinician as a critique of authority and highlight how the act of diagnosis itself is based on assumptions of reality which are very difficult to shake. I look specifically at the diagnosis of childhood bipolar disorder (currently more children are diagnosed with childhood bipolar than diabetes and autism combined). I present a thought experiment which suggests a method that can be used by which the patient can be empowered to do an assessment of a psychiatrist (as an assessment tool for the patient) . I end with some thoughts about how the diagnostic model can be changed to include the critique of authority which often goes undetected as the privilege of the clinician.
