‘Are Chapman’s misrepresentations calculated and deliberate, or careless and accidental?’ The case against ‘antipsychiatry’ is built on false foundations, according to this review of ‘Empire of Normality.’

Leveraging, shifting or changing one’s identity in the attempt to win an argument (‘I am right as I’m such & such’), is not an argument. It’s a form of bad faith & manipulation as dubious as attacking your opponent's argument by attacking their character, via mislabelling them.
'The solution to “overmedicalisation” is surely not to ditch people in need but to continue to improve our understanding of mental health'. And, I would add, to understand that the cause & solutions to rising distress are not primarily medical but social. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
What if assigning psychiatric diagnoses has negative consequences? What if it increases rates of mortality, hospitalization, sick leave, and unemployment? The harms of needless diagnoses, and their cultural and policy impacts, are profoundly and conveniently under-appreciated.
Yes, sociopolitical factors explain worsening youth mental health, but so too does the ever growing prevalence of demoralising & pessimistic pathologising narratives that reframe their social suffering as pointing to something disordered within them.
To demedicalise distress is not to delegitimise distress. One can honor, respect and care for profound suffering without labeling it as illness, pathology or disorder.
There seems to be two current MH responses: —*More* medicalisation (sections of the left). — Deny that there is suffering behind the over-medicalised (sections of the right). Both are deeply problematic. Both are avoided by the stance that @JDaviesPhD, here, is expressing.

If people reach a certain level of distress/impairment (which can be easily measured) they should be entitled to support, without having that impairment first medicalised, pathologised, depoliticised & stigmatised. Being medicalised shouldn't be a precondition for receiving care.

@JDaviesPhD "In fact, “Empire of Normality” describes them all as anti-psychiatry (p.18); consistently characterises anti-psychiatry as ‘Szaszian’; and dismisses it as “reactionary and outdated” (p.10)." From what I know, Szasz didn't identify as anti-psychiatry. He was against it. Szasz…
@JDaviesPhD Really confused now. Chapman who writes of the pathology paradigm that I happen to agree with quite a bit?
@JDaviesPhD Labeling critics of anything as anything other than critics is always propagandistic
Glad to see @Mad_In_America covering Cromby's critique of Robert Chapman's work. Chapman's persistent linking of critics of diagnosis & psychiatric practice to the right-wing—a tactic also used by the psychiatric status quo—is frankly offensive to so many of its readers.
@PTMFramework I think he just fancies being some sort of messiah. Book of Clarence style. It's about carving out status in a post truth world. He doesn't make any sense, but he bamboozles alot of people with his psychiatric 'third way'. A slippery slope to neoliberal dystopia and drug harm.
@JDaviesPhD Locate the problem in the individual and you can medicalise them (and monetize). Locate it in society and revolution is the medicine.

‘Are Chapman’s misrepresentations calculated and deliberate, or careless and accidental?’ The case against ‘antipsychiatry’ is built on false foundations, according to this review of ‘Empire of Normality.’

Hear hear! We need more understanding of the causes of psychic suffering. They are rooted in relational and social traumatisation and trauma.
'The solution to “overmedicalisation” is surely not to ditch people in need but to continue to improve our understanding of mental health'. And, I would add, to understand that the cause & solutions to rising distress are not primarily medical but social. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Neurodiversity activists *have had to* stake their view in opposition to critics of psychiatric diagnosis & practice. There was a need to vilify & contort them, so as to create a symbolic enemy with respect to which they could then serve as the emancipators.
You may already know it, but, if not, this study above may be of interest to you, @JDaviesPhD @awaisaftab. First empirical study I've come across, I think, that gets at Ivan Illich's critiques of cultural iatrogenesis. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
What if assigning psychiatric diagnoses has negative consequences? What if it increases rates of mortality, hospitalization, sick leave, and unemployment? The harms of needless diagnoses, and their cultural and policy impacts, are profoundly and conveniently under-appreciated.
John Cromby's review questions the premises of this critique of the 'pathological paradigm' madintheuk.com/2024/04/empire…
This applies not just to Chapman & other sympathetic ND activists, but to Chapman's comrades in the psychiatric status quo also, who use the very same misrepresentation in order to maintain, in this case, psychiatric hegemony.
There's a tremendous irony at the foundations of neurodiversity activism—especially Chapman's work. It fundamentally misrepresents & mislabels critics of psychiatric diagnosis & practice (as 'Szaszian') in order to assert itself as a dominant narrative. madintheuk.com/2024/04/empire…
@JDaviesPhD He calls them "right wing"? GOD! Since when is science no longer impartial? A biased science is no science at all!
