In the lingo in the tacitly only acceptable lingo of many who would be our self-appointed Movement leaders the biological model of Psychiatry as found in the DSM-3 Manual onward to edition 5 is reductionist it represents reductionism. The politically correct thing to do is accept that people are not ill, thy do not have broken brains, instead they need love, understanding and support because the problem that they have is that they have been quote overwhelmed they are experiencing emotional or psychological overwhelm. They need to be treated with compassion in a holistic manner. ___________________________________________________ As this is the only right-think for them (and us...) it leaves out totally (and tacitly, that is this remains unsaid) the supression of Orthomolecular. They present to us 2 sides of a coin: theres the reductionism, abuse and wrong approach of the NIMH, APA, WPA Drug/Electroshock Psychiatry. And the other side of the coin is what they advocate - non Medical approaches such as Psychotherapy and Re-Evaluation Counseling. Again Orthomolecular (treating actual chemical problems, actually fixing broken brains) i left out of mention. They voted themselves the prerogative. They are so smart who can question? Theirs superior. https://google/search?tbm=bks&hl=en&q=emotional+over+wealhm+daniel+fisher#hl=en&q=orthomolecular+andrew+saul __________________________________________________ Group influence and the psychology of cultism within Re-evaluation Counselling: a critique By Dr. Dennis Tourish and Pauline culteducation/reference/rc/rc1.html With respect to point three the superiority of RC over all other therapies is an axiom of the organisation. Its ideas are held to be unique. Furthermore, Jackins claims that: Re-evaluation counselling can be confidently viewed as the very leading edge of the tendency toward order and meaning in the universe. __________________________________________________ mindfreedom.org/kb/mental-health-abuse/psychiatric-labels/not-mentally-ill MindFreedom David Oaks Reductionism Care to Go Deeper? Climate Crisis, Quantum Theory & More If I may get a little big picture here, in the modern scientific field of complexity theory (also known as emergence theory, chaos theory, systems dynamics, etc.) life and the mind appear to be a phenomenon emerging from the edge between chaos and order, far from equilibrium. That is, our mind - and life itself - literally plays itself out on the edge between chaos and order. What appears to be stability is often a dance on this edge. I highly recommend the little book by Fritjof Capra called Web of Life for an elegant description of this enormous scientific revolution, that is replacing the old Newtonian view that life can be reduced to parts of a machine. ___________________________________________ To Oaks, who fasted for 12 days of the 22-day strike, that admission was no small victory. They acknowledged that they didnt have the biological evidence [of mental illness], so thats on the record, he says. Now its time for the APA to implement a far more complex model [of mental illness] that reflects the whole person and not just this narrow, reductionist, biological model. mindfreedom.org/campaign/media/mf/los-angeles-times-david-oaks-mad-pride ______________________________________________ ...Jackins dismisses all social problems as distress patterns Google: jackins re-evaluation OR RC social Race Experts books.google/books?id=tFNjqvs_UyEC&pg=PA138&lpg=PA138&dq=jackins+re-evaluation+OR+RC+social&source=bl&ots=YrqVf-l3Sl&sig=2ENC2iDHCEzUSjxmeXVK06CEtgo&hl=en&sa=X&ei=oAohU_77IcH1oASS64KoCA&ved=0CF4Q6AEwBg#v=onepage&q=jackins%20re-evaluation%20OR%20RC%20social&f=false Daniel B.
