As a therapist, this question often opens up a deep conversation about the role of psychiatry and psychotherapy in our lives. Are we medicalizing our humanity away, or are we finding paths to true healing? Let’s take a deep dive into the roots and resurgence of the anti-psychiatry movement—a movement that challenges the mental health field from multiple angles. To do that, we’ll explore the radical ideas of pioneers like R.D. Laing and Thomas Szasz, whose work questioned traditional psychiatric practices and the very nature of mental illness. But I’ll also talk about how the anti-psychiatry movement lives on today through the internet and the modern consumer, survivor, and ex-patient movement. And honestly, no anti-psychiatry video would be complete without talking about Scientologists and the…strange bedfellows they make. My hope is to present a balanced and nuanced exploration of this controversial movement. The anti-psychiatry sentiment permeates our culture and so this is a conversation we can no longer ignore. Here's my companion video about my professional experiences and reflections on compulsory (or forced) mental health treatment: https://nebula.tv/videos/neurotransmissions-my-professional-experience-with-compulsory-mental-health-care Chapters: 0:00 - We can’t ignore this anymore 2:42 - Defining “anti-psychiatry” 5:11 - Historical underpinnings of the movement 7:44 - The rise of psychiatric drugs 10:59 - Abuses, harms, and criticisms of psychiatry 13:17 - Overlap with other movements 15:28 - R.D.
