Psychologists try to speak out about hegemony
Hi,
This is a summary of a peer reviewed article. The article published in the peer reviewed journal "psychosis" is linked on the page linked below.
It is also an introduction to a site, where the summary was written that was started in homage to the inimitable Robert Whitaker, someone who it was vital for me to find ony recovery journey.
I do not have mental illness. I was forced to say that I did under duress. I know I am not alone.
Speaking out against abuse has been a vital part of my journey.
In this article, psychologists describe how they, too have faced pressure and felt silenced in trying to help in a responsible way.
I hope it will help all those who feel silenced, like I do, to find an avenue towards a truly helpful journey.
We are not alone 🙏

Re: Psychologists try to speak out about hegemony
Thank you for the link @Fredd50
I appreciate your point of view and am sure many other readers do too..
I studied psycho-social theory in my mid 20s in my final year. I had been lucky to study from a broad range of subjects, so I can laugh and tell myself it is not an obssession. As I walked to uni, I chatted to my father over the fence buried at the cemetery. He had been diagnosed and had an appauling life. I often looked at life through the lens of pathology, as I spent a lot of time visiting psych hospitals for my family, but later I made a decision to go to psychologists rather than psychiatrists. It did make a difference to round out my understanding of human development and cultural diversity.
Thx again for posting.
