| | Psychiatry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Psychiatry was at first a pragmatic discipline that was part of general medicine, combining medicine and practical psychology. | | | Many conditions have been linked to biological or chemical abnormalities in the brain's psychology, but for some conditions the etiology and pathogenesis are still the subject of intense research. | | | Unlike most other areas of medicine, there is an anti-psychiatry movement opposed to the practices of, and in some cases the existence of, psychiatry. |

| | Anti-psychiatry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In addition, psychiatry presents one theory of personality, and can be accused or ignoring or denigrating others, such as philosophical, spiritual, religious, information, or literary theories. | | | In its most general sense, anti-psychiatry refers to approaches (sometimes seen as a coherent movement) which fundamentally challenge the theory or practice of psychiatry (the application of the medical method to problematic emotions, thoughts or behaviors). | | | A related major area of concern to critics of modern psychiatry is that of over-diagnosis by a narrow medical model. |

| | spiked-health Column Breaking psychiatry's chains |
| | In the late 1990s, social psychiatry, with the support of a growing movement of past and present clients and patients of the mental health system, began to challenge the ascendancy of the biological model. | | | If psychiatry is to move forward it is necessary, but not sufficient, to resist state coercion and to listen to patients. | | | The methodological difficulties facing these trials are enormous: they use heterogeneous and unrepresentative populations, the diagnostic categories lack precision, they rely on quantitative scales of dubious reliability, the effectiveness of treatment is influenced by the quality of the therapeutic relationship within which it is delivered. |

| | David Cooper, an associate of R.D. laing, believes that mainstream psychiatry, preoccupied with the paraphernalia of the natural sciences, has developed techniques that are largely irrelevant to the human situation. | | | His principal concern has been to develop existential psychiatry in Britain and to elaborate principles to overcome the methodological difficulties and compartmentalization of the human sciences. | | | He prosposes a radical social re-evaluation of the whole concept of 'madness' and outlines a new approach to the psychological problems of personal realtionships. |

| | The anti psychiatry movement developed in the late 50's and 60's and was critical of the theories and the therapeutic treatments of conventional psychiatry, particularly the use of drugs and Electro Convulsive Therapy (ECT or shock treatment) and involuntary hospitalisation. | | | She comments that, whereas the Western idea of woman’s suicide being seen as emotional and weak, compared to man’s being a ‘decisive,strong response to adversities’ may be largely accepted, the concept is neither universally valid nor historically constant. | | | Whether seen as hysterical outpourings or emotional liberation, Plath’s work has been much analysed by feminists and feminist critics, providing a powerful text at the onset of the women’s movement. |

| | Psychological Therapies, Shropshire - From Anti-Psychiatry to Critical Psychology (article) |
| | Psychiatry and clinical psychology are both based on modernist notions of the self, which suggest that individuals can be studied and understood apart from context, culture and history (Gergen, 1999). | | | This allows both psychiatry and psychology to pay lip service to the social and ideological origins of distress, while ignoring the political implications of this by emphasising theories and interventions that are individualistic in nature. | | | The seemingly different positions of psychiatry and clinical psychology become increasingly spurious when one recognises that conceptually there is little difference between ideas of faulty chemicals (psychiatry), faulty thinking (CBT) and faulty personality (psychodynamic therapy). |

| | Meyer (1951/2) and biomedical psychiatry find different ways of accommodating to two main philosophical issues (i) the mind-body problem and (ii) the application of scientific method to the study of human nature. | | | The science of psychiatry has moved on since Roth and Kroll wrote these words to an emphasis on studies of brain neuroimaging rather than psychopharmacological studies of neurotransmitters. | | | The professional division of biological psychiatry from psychotherapy is readily recognised, concealing how much Meyerian Psychobiology provides a 'third way' in psychiatry. |
