»Das heißt, er muss in einem Universum leben,
in dem die Abfolge der Ereignisse dergestalt ist, dass seine unkonventionellen
Kommunikationsgewohnheiten in gewissem Sinne angemessen sind. Die von uns
angebotene Hypothese lautet, dass Abfolgen dieser Art in der Außenwelterfahrung
des Patienten für die inneren Konflikte in der Bestimmung logischer Typen
verantwortlich sind. Für solche unauflösbaren Erlebnisfolgen
benutzen wir den Ausdruck double bind.«

The
Pattern Which Connects - About Gregory Bateson.
»Bateson's
writings have much to offer us who do science, and what they offer is surprisingly
understandable, intellectually enlightening, visionary, and important. Bateson's
work is ultimately about the process of doing science, the words and thoughts
of one who specialized in unmuddled thinking.«

The Use Of Neuroleptics Be Severely Limited? - This article was first published
in "Controversial Issues in Mental Health" [p. 146-152], 1994, edited by Stuart
A. Kirk and Susan D. Einbinder (pub. Allyn and Bacon) and is reprinted with kind permission.
It is an updated version of a talk given for the Shropshire Mental Health Institute.
»The neuroleptic drugs have gradually become promoted as agents with a specific
"antipsychotic" effect on schizophrenic symptoms. Meanwhile, psychosocial
approaches have fallen into disrepute among many psychiatrists. Patients have been
instructed to remain on neuroleptics for a lifetime and told that it was safe to do so.
The public was told that the "miracle" drugs had emptied the hospitals and
returned millions of patients to normal lives.«
Brain-Disabling
Treatments In Psychiatry - Drugs, Electroshock, and the Role of the
FDA - Springer Publishing Company, 1997.
»This "drug revolution"
views psychiatric medications as far more helpful than harmful, even as an unmitigated
blessing. Much as insulin or penicillin, they are frequently seen as specific treatments
for specific illnesses. Often they are said to correct biochemical imbalances in the
brain. These beliefs have created an environment in which emphasis upon adverse drug
effects is greeted without enthusiasm and criticism of psychiatric medication in
principle is uncommon heresy. This book takes a decidedly different viewpoint - that
psychiatric drugs achieve their primary or essential effect by causing brain
dysfunction, and that they tend to do far more harm than good.«

NETWORK AGAINST COERCIVE
PSYCHIATRY is an organization comprised of psychotherapists, psychiatrists,
survivors of psychiatric incarceration and other concerned citizens. The idea of
mental illness is a misleading and degrading metaphor. Psychiatric treatments in
mental hospitals are for the most part forms of physical and emotional abuse.
Psychiatric diagnoses are demeaning labels without any scientific validity. The
psychiatric establishment is pushing dangerous drugs which they euphemistically
call "medication".

executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who
do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude.«

»The subject of freedom and its enemies is enormous, and what I
have written is certainly too short to do it full justice; but at least I have touched on many
aspects of the problem. Each aspect may have been somewhat over-simplified in the exposition;
but these successive over-simplifications add up to a picture that, I hope, gives some hint of
the vastness and complexity of the original.«

»In reference to its uses
in forensic settings, the developers of DSM-IV explicitly state that "inclusion of a
disorder in the classification does not require that there be knowledge about its
etiology" (DSM-IV, p. xxiii). The correspondence between diagnostic category
and the individual's presenting problems (symptomatology) alone provide the ground for
a diagnosis. These two fundamental premises of the definition of "mental
disorder", that it is an individual event and etiology is not a necessary
component of the diagnosis, is the sine qua non of our modern understanding
of whole enterprise of the mental health profession.«

»Meine Analyse
dieser Frage basiert auf dem Werk von C. G. Jung, weil er der einzige ist, der eine
Theorie der kollektiven Psychologie entwickelt hat. Und Geld ist in erster Linie ein
Phänomen kollektiver Psychologie. Ein Schlüsselbegriff von Jung ist der Archetyp,
der beschrieben werden kann als ein emotionales Feld, das Menschen mobilisiert, einzeln
und kollektiv, in eine bestimmte Richtung.«

©1949 by Smith Ely Jelliffe Trust, New York.
»Psychology is the
discipline that has the most direct bearing on our daily activities. Its phenomena
are ever present in our feeling, thinking and dreaming. However, the ways in which
it works and its actual significance are mysterious to the average person, and the
language of the learned in this field is mere jargon to the uninitiated. It is
unfortunate that it is not better understood by all, and particularly by those
whose duty is to make decisions that may threaten the security of
mankind.«

»In this book we shall
move from the specific subject of planned and deliberate mental coercion to the more
general question of the influences in the modern world that tend to robotize and automatize
man. The last chapters are devoted to the problem of inner backbone, as a first step in the
direction of learning to maintain OUR MENTAL FREEDOM.«

When
The Dream Becomes Real - A conversation with Michael O'Callaghan.
»MICHAEL
O'CALLAGHAN: How does one define so-called schizophrenia? -- JOHN WEIR PERRY: Carl G. Jung
defined it most succinctly. He said "Schizophrenia is a condition in which the dream
takes the place of reality." This means that the unconscious overwhelms the
ego-consciousness, overwhelms the field of awareness with contents from the
unconscious.«

»Menschliche Gesellschaften unterscheiden
sich sehr stark in ihrer Behandlung von Kindern. In einigen Kulturen schenken die Eltern
ihren Kindern körperliche Zuwendung, während sie sie in anderen körperlich
bestrafen. Eine Studie anthropologischer Daten durch den Autor zeigte, dass in jenen
Gesellschaften, die ihren Kindern den größten Betrag an körperlicher
Zuwendung schenken, weniger Diebstahl und Gewalttätigkeit unter Erwachsenen
vorkommt, was die Theorie unterstützt, dass Mangel an körperlicher Lust in der
Kindheit signifikant mit einer hohen Kriminalitäts- und Gewalttätigkeitsrate
verknüpft ist.«

»In the final chapter, the trauma
model is discussed from the perspective of the structure of scientific revolutions. Adoption
of the trauma model by mainstream psychiatry would represent a major paradigm shift. At
present, the trauma model is marginalized and has no impact on the majority of research,
clinical practice and theory in psychiatry.«

Morris Interviews Dr. Colin A. Ross - Second in a Series of Broadcasts aired Sunday
April 6, 1997 on CKLN-FM 88.1 in Toronto.
»What he did then, was to do this to human beings,
including children. He describes an eleven year old boy in whose brain he put
electrodes. When he pressed the right button on the box, the boy would start talking about
maybe being a girl, wanting to marry a male therapist. So they were using brain electrode
implants to modify the identity, world view and behaviour of children as young as
eleven.«
