Dr Kris Kaliebe, Mia Hughes and I explore how psychiatry replaced psychological care with medical identity in our latest episode of Beyond Gender. Episode #73
Yes, medicine moved away from psychiatry, psychoanalysis and psychology because they proved irritatingly ineffective in the face of serious psychotic illnesses. When drugs showed success in alleviating certain psychosis, some doctors decided to go whole hog in applying physical treatments. It's in the nature of some docs: aggression. Why else a history of lobotmies, shock, straight jackets, ice baths, castration, blood letting, trepanning. So both psychological and physical methods have their unscrupulous, misguided self-interested or ignorant practitioners. Now common sense and observation show us the great harm being done to satisfy the sexual fetishists who are pushing their agenda on others too troubled, naive or trendy to exercise good judgment.
