Severely non-NPOV
editThis article is about a pseudoscientific movement, and yet it presents everything as if they are facts (except for a few throw-away lines that seem to have been inserted in order to pretend that this article is NPOV). The entire article reads as if it were written by a pseudoscience true believer. This is especially pernicious because it deals with a topic that has life-and-death consequences. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.195.76.57 (talk) 20:01, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
- Psychiatry is not science in the first place. 79.18.247.218 (talk) 20:20, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- Agreed.The regular inability to replicate results from experiments should strongly suggest so. ProofCreature (talk) 22:30, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- Psychiatry — including the branch called Anti-Psychiatry — deals with behaviors that are diagnosed as diseases, none of which have been or are validated by anatomical or biochemical tests. No other branch of medicine deals largely with behavior and uses no testing. That's characteristic of a pseudoscience. Nicmart (talk) 16:32, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

anti psychiatry vs anti coercion
editsince szasz is mentioned.... maybe note that Szasz embraced "anti-coercion" rather than "antipsychiatry".

Website...
edit...is www.cchr.org - Website links to a antipsychiatry human rights org founded by Scientology. I have a Satellite TV unit and I do have the Scientology Channel on it. My unit has it as SCNTV, channel 320. Can that be used as well? Thanks. Nuclear Sergeant (talk) 16:46, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
- I've seen several anti psychiatry documentaries on this system. Nuclear Sergeant (talk) 16:48, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
Szasz and dubious quote
editIt is not made clear that Szasz was an ardent critic of Anti-Psychiatry, writing articles and a book to made his critique clear.
An alleged Szasz quote is provided without source, and I'm removing it. If and when a source is provided it can be replaced. The quote is nothing like Szasz has written in other contexts. The removed part is this:
- It has been noted that gay activists in the 1970s and 1980s adopted many of Szasz's arguments against the psychiatric system, but also that Szasz had written in 1965 that: "I believe it is very likely that homosexuality is, indeed, a disease in the second sense [expression of psychosexual immaturity] and perhaps sometimes even in the stricter sense [a condition somewhat similar to ordinary organic maladies perhaps caused by genetic error or endocrine imbalance]. Nevertheless, if we believe that by categorising homosexuality as a disease we have succeeded in removing it from the realm of moral judgement, we are in error."
