Anti-Psych

Postby Simon Attwood » Mon Apr 11, 2011 2:32 pm

As a general note; I have to say how refreshing it is that there is a sub forum devoted to critiques of the field. Although I think the term "Anti-Psych" could be misconstreud as confrontational.

In another psycholgy forum, I ever so slightly critiqued the paradigms of the field and got the "Chimpanzees response". :?

Who's read "Madness Explained; psychosis and human nature" by Richard P Bentall? I think people interested in the context of this sub forum might enjoy the read. :)
