Its igniting influences were Michel Foucault, R.D. Laing, Thomas Szasz and, in Italy, Franco Basaglia. The term was first used by the psychiatrist David Cooper in 1967.[1] Two central contentions

  • The Electroshock Quotationary®
    The Electroshock Quotationary® Leonard Roy Frank, Editor Publication date: June 2006 Copyright © 2006 by Leonard Roy Frank. All Rights Reserved. Dedicated to everyone committed to ending the use of electroshock everywhere and forever The Campaign for the Abolition of Electroshock in Texas (CAEST) was founded in Austin during the summer of 2005. The Electroshock Quotationary (ECTQ) was created to support the organization’s opposition to electroshock by informing the public, through CAEST’s website, about the nature of electroshock, its history, why and how it’s used, its effects on people, and the efforts to promote and stop its use. The editor plans to regularly update ECTQ with suitable materials when he finds them or when they are brought to his attention. In this regard he invites readers to submit original and/or published materials for consideration (e-mail address: [email protected]). CONTENTS Acknowledgements Introduction: The Essentials (7 pages) Text: Chronologically Arranged Quotations (146 pages) About the Editor ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS For their many kindnesses, contributions and suggestions to The Electroshock Quotationary, I am most grateful to Linda Andre, Ronald Bassman, Margo Bouer, John Breeding, Doug Cameron, Ted Chabasinski, Lee Coleman, Alan Davisson, Dorothy Washburn Dundas, Sherry Everett, John Friedberg, Janet Gotkin, Ben Hansen, Wade Hudson, Juli Lawrence, Peter Lehmann, Diann’a Loper, Rosalie Maggio, Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, Carla McKague, Jim Moore, Bob Morgan, David Oaks, Una Parker, Marc Rufer, Sherri Schultz, Eileen Walkenstein, Ann Weinstock, Don Weitz, and Rich Winkel. INTRODUCTION: THE ESSENTIALS I. THE CONTROVERSY Electroshock (also known as shock therapy, electroconvulsive treatment, convulsive therapy, ECT, EST, and ECS) is a psychiatric procedure involving the induction of a grand mal seizure, or convulsion, by passing electricity through the brain.

  • Electroconvulsive Therapy: a Second Opinion
    1 ELECTROCONVULSIVE THERAPY: A SECOND OPINION By Gary Null, Ph.D. If you thought shock treatment was a thing of the past, you’re wrong. ECT is making a comeback, with its supporters saying it helps depression and prevents suicide. There are three things you should know, though: It doesn’t help depression. It doesn’t prevent suicide. And patients coming out of this treatment can have more problems than they did going in – including death. A grand mal seizure, when muscles contract violently and uncontrollably, is something doctors ordinarily try to prevent. Yet, with shock therapy’s dramatic comeback, doctors are intentionally producing this type of seizure as a medical treatment. Shock therapy’s advocates, who refer to the procedure as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) to soften negative associations, proclaim that ECT is safe, painless, and effective. It’s the best treatment for deep depression, they say, and it saves lives by preventing suicide. Moreover, they claim, side effects, such as memory loss, are only temporary. The trend appears to be growing, with ECT now being used for a number of psychiatric ailments, including schizophrenia 2 and obsessive-compulsive disorder, and even for some non-psychiatric conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease.1 But paralleling the growth of ECT is the growing number of critics of the treatment, both within and outside of the psychiatric establishment. Shock is not just ineffective, the opposition claims, it often leaves recipients in a worsened condition than before treatment. Depression and suicidal ideation soon return, complicated by ECT-induced brain damage and memory loss.

  • Judi Chamberlin Papers
    Special Collections and University Archives : University Libraries Judi Chamberlin Papers 1944-2010 (Bulk: 1970-2006) 30 boxes (45 linear ft.) Call no.: MS 768 Collection overview A pioneer in the psychiatric survivors' movement, Judi Chamberlin spent four decades as an activist for the civil rights of mental patients. Following horrific experiences as a patient in the mental health system, Chamberlin was galvanized to take action on patients' rights, helping to found the Mental Patients' Liberation Front in 1971. Taking cues from the struggle for civil rights, she helped build a movement that privileged the patient's perspective and that demanded choice in treatment. Through her writing, organizing, and international advocacy, she contributed to a number of disability rights organizations that have had a profound influence on public policy. Her tireless efforts have been recognized with the Distinguished Service Award of the President's Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities in 1992 and many other honors. Chamberlin died of pulmonary disease at home in Arlington, Mass., in January 2010. An important record of the development of the psychiatric survivors' movement from its earliest days, the Chamberlin Papers include rich correspondence between Chamberlin, fellow activists, survivors, and medical professionals; records of her work with the MPLF and other rights organizations, conferences and meetings, and her efforts to build the movement internationally. See similar SCUA collections: Disability Political activism Social justice Women Background on Judi Chamberlin No, anger is not 'nice,' but it's real, it comes from the gut, and not to be angry at being shit upon is being dead -- which is exactly what shrinks and their kind want us all to become.

Oaks MindFreedom International, Eugene, OR, USA 12.1 Overview – coerced psychiatric procedures lead to an insurmountable power imbalance I personally experienced coerced psychiatric procedures in a variety of ways over a three-year period as a young adult. Because of what I perceived as my unjust and harmful mental health care, I felt passionately motivated to become a community organizer in the field of human rights in mental health. In my opinion, the coerced psychiatric procedures I was subjected to were significant violations of my human rights that profoundly traumatize me to this day.

I feel privileged, humbled and thankful to call many of these psychiatric survivors my lifetime friends and colleagues.

    TALKING BACK TO PSYCHIATRY: RESISTANT IDENTITIES IN THE PSYCHIATRIC CONSUMER/SURVIVOR/EX-PATIENT MOVEMENT by Linda Joy Morrison BA, University of Massachusetts at Amherst, 1975 MSW, University of Pittsburgh, 1985 MA, University of Pittsburgh, 1995 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Faculty of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Pittsburgh 2003 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH FACULTY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES This dissertation was presented by Linda Joy Morrison It was defended on March 3, 2003 and approved by Joseph S. Alter Mark B. Ginsburg John H. Marx Kathleen M. Blee Dissertation Director ii © Copyright by LINDA JOY MORRISON 2003 All Rights Reserved iii TALKING BACK TO PSYCHIATRY: RESISTANT IDENTITIES IN THE PSYCHIATRIC CONSUMER/SURVIVOR/EX-PATIENT MOVEMENT Linda Joy Morrison, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2003 This research shows that activists in the consumer/survivor/ex-patient (c/s/x) movement develop a range of resistant identities in response to their encounters with psychiatry. Looking beyond the apparent distinction between “consumer” and “survivor,” components of a unifying survivor narrative are seen to underlie their resistance to assuming a totalized “mental patient” identity. A shared sense of injustice and betrayal of trust motivates people to identify with movement goals and values, which emphasize talking back to the power of psychiatry, rights protection and advocacy, and self-determination. Activists share a collective identity yet enact their concerns along a continuum from conservative to radical, according to their position in relation to psychiatric treatment and their relative levels of resistance and patienthood. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to thank all the people who made this project possible and encouraged me to do the work.

  • Celebrating Mad Pride
    Passover Haggadah Supplement Celebrating Mad Pride Created by Southern California Against Forced Treatment Disclaimer To commemorate Passover, Southern California Against Forced Treatment has selected various writings including personal stories, philosophical explorations, and advocacy pieces written by Jewish Mad people, Jewish neurodivergent people, and Jewish activists and advocates for the rights of Mad people. These passages are presented for their cultural and historical relevance. Southern California Against Forced Treatment does not necessarily endorse all views of all of the authors whose work appears in this supplement. A Lock and Key on the Seder Plate This year, we add a lock and key to our seder plate. This lock and key represents the violence and oppression of imprisonment in psychiatric institutions. Psychiatric confinement is the only kind of incarceration that can result from an act of speech or expression of one’s thoughts or beliefs, or even from refusal to speak. This lock and key represents the trauma of losing one’s bodily autonomy and being subjected to acts of brutality including forced drugging, electroshock therapy, restraint, seclusion, strip searches, and sexual violence. This lock and key also represents the grief, loss, and regret of being locked out. Psychiatric inmates are isolated from their communities and the people they love, forced to miss out on the joys of everyday life. Upon release from psychiatric institutions, many former patients face hiring discrimination and social ostracization. This lock and key not only represents physical incarceration but emotional and spiritual incarceration. This lock and key represents the oppression of being told that one’s uniquely individual thoughts, beliefs, and personality are an illness or pathology.
