Tough Love for Thomas Szasz: A Book Review
Google Books preview here.
“1961 was a significant year in the history of psychiatry because
it spawned a proliferation of critical books by psychiatrists,
sociologists, and philosophers in both the United States and
Europe—launching psychiatry into crisis.” (Pols, p. 16)
Call it a coincidence, but Mad Magazine was right: with the publication of The Myth of Mental Illness, the world turned upside down in 1961. The author of that book, Dr. Thomas Szasz
(1920-2012), was one of the greatest thinkers and prose stylists of the
last 100 years. Has it really been seven years since he died? It has,
and enough time has passed that we can start to take stock of his
legacy.
Voices for Choices (1 of 13) - Fighting for human rights in mental health
Voices for Choices is the first of its kind. Courageous individuals
speak out about their experience with the mental health system’s use of
force and coercion. They share about alternative approaches and healing
modalities they have explored and their effective approaches to
organizing and activism.
Voices for Choices (2 of 13) - History of psychiatric treatment
Mental health treatment has come in many forms throughout history.
For most of history, people considered “crazy” were banished, beaten, or
kept locked away in cellars and attics. In 17th-century Europe, they
were confined in large institutions, not for purposes of treatment, but
to remove them from society.
At the turn of the 19th century, treatment of emotional distress became
medicalized into “diseases” such as paranoia, dementia,
manic-depression, and epilepsy.

Today is 15 July 2019, and we honor the birthday of the late great
Leonard Roy Frank, one of the main psychiatric survivor leaders of our
modern era, and a good friend (his photo is on the left). I have
blogged about Leonard before, and Mad Pride Month needs to celebrate
Leonard: http://davidwoaks.com/my-friend-leonard-roy-frank
Leonard supported grassroots activism wherever you are. Our local
group, MindFreedom Oregon, is a state affiliate of the human rights
coalition MindFreedom International. We support calling this whole month of July, Mad Pride Month!
Janet Foner - Mind Freedom International
This
is David W. Oaks former director of MindFreedom International with very
sad news. One of my best friends, one of the founders of MFI, who
served on the board for decades -- Janet Foner -- died last night 23
July 2019 at 73. I just got off the phone with another of her close
friends, MFI Board President Celia Brown. We talked about Janet's
lifelong loving, strong leadership for mental health liberation. Admirer
tributes & memories to come. Thanks, we love you Janet!

Colectivos de salud mental piden justicia para la joven que murió atada en un hospital de Asturias
 |
| Concentración contra las contenciones mecánicas. |
Cincuenta profesionales de la salud elaboran un informe que señala las contradicciones del informe forense, que concluye “que se trata de una muerte natural” y que “el internamiento en la unidad de Psiquiatría fue procedente”.
Andreas acabó en la unidad de psiquiatría, donde murió en abril de 2017, debido a una mirada “extremadamente reduccionista” de la salud mental. Así lo creen los 65 colectivos que firman el Manifiesto de repudio por la muerte de Andreas, la joven de 26 años que falleció a causa de una meningitis y una miocarditis en 2017 tras estar atada 75 horas a una cama en la unidad psiquiátrica del Hospital Central Universitario de Asturias (HUCA).
Napoli Teatro Festival, Tso e abusi:martedì 25 giugno 2019, la storia di Mastrogiovanni a teatro
Debutta il 25 giugno 2019 alle ore 21 in Galleria Toledo, nell’ambito del Napoli Teatro Festival Italia 2019 il nuovo spettacolo di Mirko Di Martino, direttore artistico del Teatro Tram di via Port’Alba a Napoli. “Il maestro più alto del mondo“– che gode del patrocinio di Giffoni Experience e della Presidenza del Consiglio della Regione Campania, Amnesty International e il Forum dei Giovani della Regione Campania– racconta la tragica storia di Franco Mastrogiovanni, insegnante elementare morto nel 2009 nel reparto psichiatrico dell’ospedale di Vallo della Lucania: 87 ore prima era stato ricoverato a seguito di un Trattamento Sanitario Obbligatorio, 87 ore dopo moriva con le mani e i piedi legati al letto, senza aver bevuto né mangiato.
