Hello and yes I’m back again.  all my pictures are from Little Venice in London and all the quotes are from Freud.

Today I’m looking at some odd psychiatric —against not about that I’ve seen lately.

Oh and keep your fingers crossed as the worst Hurricane  to come up against Florida in many years…so please send us positive energy or say a prayer or what ever your beliefs will allow and maybe we can push Matthew further into the Atlantic.

Being entirely honest with oneself is a good exercise.    Sigmund Freud

Children are completely egoistic; they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them. Sigmund Freud

I most recently have been seeing anti-psychiatrists on TV, so I decided to look into who was doing it.  I mean psychiatrists aren’t always the most down-to-earth profession in the world, but running ads against them.

What are their motivation or is it just some ad for some strange new show?  I only saw the ads for a couple of days and most recently none.  They dealt with the fact that psychiatrist killed people and that shock therapy electrocuted millions….and I only caught a glimpse of them…has anybody but me seen them?  Or is it just my weird imagination and they weren’t there at all?

I did some research but the article that dealt with Shock Therapy and how they were trying to bring it back and the significance of it etc was a 2001 article in THE ATLANTIC   http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2001/02/shock-and-disbelief/302114/

Civilization began the first time an angry person cast a word instead of a rock. Sigmund Freud

As a former nurse I have taken courses and did training in various psychiatric hospitals and while we were in the psychiatric part of our training we had weekly group therapy sessions to help us cope with any psych or other issues we were having.  It was with fellow class members which were conducted by two (varied from session to session) staff psychiatrists).

All in all what I saw there left me with intense reminders of the fragility of the human mind-I worked with patient with severe psychiatric disorders  with delusions and acting out…to simple depression which while stifling wasn’t nearly as scary.   After all that I feel that any body who isn’t impressed with the ways the human mind can disconnect, shatter or convolute hasn’t had to deal with any persons with serious mental condition on a regular basis.

Now I’m the first to agree that our true understanding of the human mind both physical as well as intellectual, and behavior not to mention spiritual is not always very adequate.  For while we can tell you the physical and chemical make up, we can not explain why we can talk and walk in an intellectual (well some of the time) manner.

Every normal person, in fact, is only normal on the average. His ego approximates to that of the psychotic in some part or other and to a greater or lesser extent. Sigmund Freud

As for the medication we have developed for psychiatric conditions are often unpleasant for many of its receivers and often they prefer to be “crazy” rather than take it.

Psychiatric therapies—the talking thru of situations, feeling and more is an excellent in some case and almost useless in others.  When we I was mourning for my lost husband it was wonderful to just have someone to talk to about it–someone who wasn’t involved or someone I didn’t want to bother….we worked through it and help relieve my depression and adjust my mourning to a more functional and progressive moving to normality.

The act of birth is the first experience of anxiety, and thus the source and prototype of the affect of anxiety. Sigmund Freud

I found this:  Posing as “authorities,” their pseudoscience now woven through our educational systems and medical institutions, psychiatrists wreak havoc across the entire social fabric, by prescribing a smorgasbord of mind-altering drugs to adults and children.”  And includes a video on psychotropic drugs. http://www.cchr.org/videos/cchr-ads.html

This is provided by The Citizens Commission on Human Rights International (CCHR) i which according to Wikipedia s a nonprofit organization established in 1969 by the Church of Scientology and psychiatrist Thomas Szasz, headquartered in Los Angeles, California. Its stated mission is to “eradicate abuses committed under the guise of mental health and enact patient and consumer protections.” Many critics regard it as a Scientology front group whose purpose is to push the religion’s anti-psychiatric agenda,

They have sued Ritalin’s manufacturer and many other psychiatric issues….(to read them all check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_Commission_on_Human_Rights)  But my favorite is the 9/11  conspiracy theory.  In the immediate aftermath of the September 11 attacks, CCHR promulgated a conspiracy theory assigning responsibility for the attacks to Ayman al-Zawahiri, alleging that, as Osama bin Laden‘s personal psychiatrist, he was the principal mastermind behind the attacks and had brainwashed bin Laden using pain, drugs and hypnosis.

I don’t know if they paid for the ads but I do know that they certainly have the funds and inclination.  What do you think?

The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is ‘What does a woman want?’ Sigmund Freud

We have long observed that every neurosis has the result, and therefore probably the purpose, of forcing the patient out of real life, of alienating him from actuality. Sigmund Freud
