John Cromby's review questions the premises of this critique of the 'pathological paradigm' madintheuk.com/2024/04/empire…
@joannamoncrieff problem with the veneer of marxist analogies is that Marx is pretty notorious on what he means by alienation and many of the top psychiatrists see Marx as a fab ally for Neuro/Psych equivalence which informs universal health care-physics/psychological self-determination as one!🌎
@joannamoncrieff I have no problem with people defining themselves in any language they see fit. The language that matters here, in mental health services, are the legal sentences which allow forced chemical and electrical intervention.
@joannamoncrieff All the labels and "diagnosis" are irrelevant and philosophical (even creative at times) where the legal right to forced treatment is dismantled.
@joannamoncrieff Somebody’s going to need to explain this to me? I am all for the pathology paradigm and it appears to have been criticised by two pretty prominent doctors… unless I struggle to read your comments with this post a bit? 🤷🏻♀️
@joannamoncrieff It's scandalous that real scientists like yourself have to spend their time debunking false arguments invented by paid thinkers as diversions aimed at distracting your attention from the altruistic effort you put into exposing psychiatric fraud.
@joannamoncrieff This part alone is 🔑 ‘Challenge diagnosis, show that it lacks reliability and validity, show that its notion of mental illness lacks consistent biological correlates, and you threaten the whole of psychiatry.’
