Comments: I am very glad to come to know about a Coalition Against Psychiatry. I am a student of Taoism and I live in the Far East. I am born with psychic powers and when I was a teenager, I have been abused by psychiatrists. I felt that society put too much power in their hands, so I decided to move to the Far East and try with oriental philosophies about how to deal with my powers. I found much help with Tao. I have learned to live with my powers. Regrettably, I also noticed the advance the Psychiatry had on a worldwide scale on thought and culture. Even here, in the Far East psychiatrists from Canada or USA come to 'heal' people: one particular case was in China, where the Communist government sponsored many psychiatrists from Canada to teach (and sell medicines) in Chinese hospitals. It is true that Communists have frequently used Psychiatry to control the masses, but this is the first time it was done so brazenly and on such a large scale. It made me think. I believe that this is somewhat connected with the overall 'Westernisation' of the world: American style fast food, culture, music, and thought is spreading. And crushing local cultures in the meantime. What can be done about it ? Is this to be dealt with like it was done with the 'Inquisition' of the Middle Ages ? Wait until science will prove them to be evil and charlatans ? Are both Psychiatry and the Inquisition evil and a necessary evil ? Can evil conribute to human progress ? I believe so. After all it took the evil of Nazism to realise that all men are equal: no man is superior to others. But Nazism took a large toll of lives. And so it did the Inquisition. And so it will Psychiatry. Keep on with your good work: you may save many lives.

Comments: BRAVO--I love your writing, I agree with. I have a hypothesis, that a fairly "normal" person can go into the mental health system maybe with a "spiritual crises" get drugged, get sick and get pushed through a system that so abuses their rights and terrorizes them with forced confinements, more drugs, pejorative mental illness titles that the "treatment" creates an iatorgenic Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome? In a sense I felt like a "prisoner of war" when I was hospitalized in the sense that deep in my heart I believed I was alright but being punished for trying to make my husbands abuse of me known (he was an elite member of the mental health "brotherhood" and gosh do they protect each other. The disorganization of thought, disociation, intrusive memories of PTSD can be misdiagnosed in a variety of ways, the worst of which is Borderline Personality Disorder. The lucky woman who gets that branded across her being is in for a life of a mind bending reality breaking relationships with mh professionals who at best view her with suspiscion and at worst blatant hostility (and its okay,because the description of BPD is of "DERANGED personality, with manipulative, tantrem throwing, demanding, overeacting, histrionic qualities) as you read the DSM 4 of this particularly charming label you think to yourself, I wouldn't even want to ever met one of these people much less be them. But if you get sadled with that label be prepared to cease to exist as a human being.Personally I have iatrogenic PTSD from a husband who was a mental health clinician working for the state where he hid his chronic incredible abuse of me behind my "mental illness" and I was supposedly acting out and being manic and accused of lying about the abuse because I was BPD and ironically I do not even have the symptoms of it, never did.... they were looking for exotic dxes like MPD, or borderline and the obvious picture that I was an abuse victim was not even considered. That's enough, I'm surprized how angry I am but my ordeal just ended very recently and at this point I am involved in writing on a state level pushing for change in the way clients may file grievances and be heard. At this point the process is shrounded in secrecy "for confidentiality" which only serves to hide the charges an abusing counselor may be up on. There is a terrible lack of checks and balances in this system. I aiming to make enough noise to change that althought my first attempts have been met with hostility. NAMI is a great organization though and helped me push through one change.CarolineCaroline
