I am guessing you just dropped a link without saying anything ?


acting-out: the institution denied explores the role of performance in the liberating, yet anxious process of defying institutional boundaries and social labels.

Engaging with the theories of critical psychiatrists R. D. Laing and Franco Basaglia, the project seeks to move beyond popular definitions of ‘acting-out’ as a destructive or anti-social impulse, framing it as a performative action and a form of resistance.

Just the title and description reminds me of the paper "Why Anti-Authoritarians are Diagnosed as Mentally Ill"

I haven't really explored the theories of critical psychiatrists R. D. Laing and Franco Basaglia, I just know stuffing distressed people full of brain disabling drugs and then calling the zombie like state "better" is the biggest crock out there, a multi billion dollar crock of poo.

Here is a good video that explains it perfectly Big Pharma ~ Define 'Better' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLktVtStHfI
