'RANT'ing out the Devil ‘RANT’ing Out the Devil Community Traumatization & Human Transformation An Outsider Philosophy by Kathleen M. Hill ‘One million people commit suicide every year’ The World Health Organization 1 All rights reserved, no part of this publication may be reproduced by any means, electronic, mechanical, or photocopying, documentary, film, or otherwise without the prior permission of the publisher. Published by: Chipmunkapublishing PO Box 6872 Brentwood Essex CM13 1ZT United Kingdom http://www.chipmunkapublishing.com Proof-read by Ama Agyeman-Badu ISBN 1-904697-44-5 2 PREFACE Abusive Self-Helping Professionals who offend do so by using cognitive distortions to meet personal needs, wants and desires, to protect themselves from aversive self-awareness, and to overcome internal inhibitions against coercively engaging consumers of services into re- traumatizing activity. These offenders carefully groom their victims by systematically separating them from their families and peers, and socializing them into a life-style of extreme solitude found otherwise only on 'death row'. Offenders justify the abuse by making excuses and redefining their actions as empathy and mutuality. Throughout the process, offenders exploit the power imbalance inherent in all human service professional, provider-consumer relationships. "With abuse, you suffer loss of soul, loss of self and loss of meaning" K.W. (Survivor) from Community Retraumatization http://www.annafoundation.org/CR.html "Person memoirs are a kind of protest literature, like slave narratives or witness testimonies." Gail A. Hornstein For us systemic help and support is an exacerbation of past suffering, by an extenuation of that pain into our present. Abuse in therapy dissociates the exposed, humiliated victim's ideology of spiritual inviolability and sacredness of personal humanity, while enhancing the fantasy of merger with an idealized savior. The betrayal to healing that is offered in psychological assault is an ultimate act of perverted intimacy. The victim's outrage preserves the veracity of our unconscionable and incomprehensible betrayals. For the victim, mental ‘health’ professionals are neither safe nor credible anymore! (Based on Sam Vaknin's "Psychology of Torture" a chapter of "Malignant Self Love - Narcissism Revisited" (Narcissus Publications, 2003) http://www.narcissistic- abuse.com/torturepsychology.html 3 DEDICATION If I am being euphoric, I am clearly joyous: I am NOT manic. If I imagine a more potent self, I am being self-determining: I am NOT psychotic. If I am sorrowing and sleep a lot, I am plainly grieving: I am NOT oppressed. If I don’t involve myself with people, I am prudent with forethought: I am NOT phobic. If I am expressive of my opinions, I am patently assertive: I am NOT aggressive. If I don’t like something and state it, I am without guile: I am NOT difficult. If I am tempestuous, I am manifestly angry: I am NOT dangerous. If I show an exaggerated response, I am evidently sensitive: I am NOT out-of-control. If I am as reclusive as a hermit, I am taking care of myself: I am NOT isolating myself. If I enjoy being extroverted, I am unmistakably at ease with others: I am NOT being inappropriate. If I am working long hours, I am obviously involved with my work: I am NOT obsessive-compulsive. If I express irritation with someone, I am timeworn by selfsame: I am NOT withdrawn and avoiding. If I prefer to hold counsel with myself, I am cautiously self-protective: I am NOT paranoid. For all of the above reasons, I do NOT require drugs. And neither do you! Katie Hill, August 2004 (NISA) http://www.nisa.on.ca/ Background: http://psychrights.org/Drugs/AllenJonesTMAPJanuary20.pdf Stop the Violence: TEEN SCREEN http://www.psychsearch.net/teenscreen.html 4 Nemesis: Daughter of Night; Daughter of Moral Conscience Originally an abstraction of righteous indignation against evil, in Greek mythology this idea was personified as the winged goddess of retributive justice, righteous anger, divine vengeance, and usually a victorious rival. She inflicted the justice of the gods on the proud and those who flaunted the law avenging those who were wronged. Her anger is directed toward human transgressions of the natural, right order of things and the hubris behind it. Nemesis pursues the insolent and the wicked with inflexible vengeance. Her cult is thought to have originated from Smyrna. She is also considered to have been the mother of Helene after impregnation during her rape by Zeus. Based on http://ww.theoi.com Debwewin is an eastern Ojibwa word which translates into “truth” in English, but which literally means “speaking from the heart”. Truth is one of the Seven Grandfather Teachings of the Anishinabek people. To me 'speaking from the heart' is 'feeling-thought' or 'reason' vs. logic. Truth is accuracy in holistic understanding that implies fairness i.e. balance in context. Universal Rationalism: Insanity in its various forms is now universally admitted to be a Disease … and therefore to be viewed in the same light and treated on the same principles as those which regulate medical practice in other branches … and the more rational idea prevails… James F. Duncan, 1875 President’s Address, Journal of Mental Science 21, 316 ”Change and healing comes not so much from abstract intellect as from embodied experience.” (Necessity of Madness & Unproductivity by John Breeding) What Is A Rant? Rants are pain forms of communicating experienced knowledge. A rant is like life's poetry set to lyric. Rants speak of participatory learning in anguish, despair, torment, and outrage BUT the listener is half- way through reading before we wake up to the educating of what is being communicated. Rants carry us along waves of feeling-thought--to reason—peaking the extremes of aversive emotion-- without turning away! "Psychology, whose righteous task it is to free man (humanity) to grow in wisdom and experience sacred pleasure has increasingly sought instead to subdue him (us) to efficient social routines. To implement the goals of the state it serves through control of the apparatus of conditioning, psychology has become more and more a science of social control. Through the administration of a value system based upon reward and punishment, it has served to curb man's (our) impulse toward freedom and pleasure. The major technical problem is: how to keep the rat from freaking out in the conditioning cage.

Considering the diversity of humanity - it's an impossible, but do-able effort. My purpose in writing is to clarify what is meant, but rarely said, in our speaking. I write with holistic thought patterns, because it is how I think! I became c/s/x and anti-psychiatry in celebration of my understanding of the age-old saying, 'We are greater than the sum of our parts'. Human consciousness is the indefinable, non-physical, yet existent thing, that is a product of, but yet greater than the sum of our parts. It therefore follows that human consciousness is - in and of itself - spirituality. Technically, I research into a part and then apply discovery to the whole, evolving environmental concepts and principles that define and characterize an understanding of the whole.

Given the prominence of the subject of madness, both historically and literarily, we need a unified methodology for analysis and action. As a subfield of disability studies, “mad studies” deals specifically with representations of mental distress rather than physical otherness, examining how “madness” enables writers to convey certain meanings or produce certain stories. In minor characters, these meanings are infused into characters’ actantial function within the symbolic model of disability: madness works as a device for plot, psychological depth (of other characters), and thematic resonance.

  • A Hunger Strike to Challenge International Domination by Biopsychiatry
    A Hunger Strike to Challenge International Domination by Biopsychiatry This fast is about human rights in mental health. The psychiatric pharmaceutical complex is heedless of its oath to "first do no harm." Psychiatrists are able with impunity to: *** Incarcerate citizens who have committed crimes against neither persons nor property. *** Impose diagnostic labels on people that stigmatize and defame them. *** Induce proven neurological damage by force and coercion with powerful psychotropic drugs. *** Stimulate violence and suicide with drugs promoted as able to control these activities. *** Destroy brain cells and memories with an increasing use of electroshock (also known as electro-convulsive therapy) *** Employ restraint and solitary confinement - which frequently cause severe emotional trauma, humiliation, physical harm, and even death - in preference to patience and understanding. *** Humiliate individuals already damaged by traumatizing assaults to their self-esteem. These human rights violations and crimes against human decency must end. While the history of psychiatry offers little hope that change will arrive quickly, initial steps can and must be taken. At the very least, the public has the right to know IMMEDIATELY the evidence upon which psychiatry bases its spurious claims and treatments, and upon which it has gained and betrayed the trust and confidence of the courts, the media, and the public. WHY WE FAST There are many different ways to help people experiencing severe mental and emotional crises. People labeled with a psychiatric disability deserve to be able to choose from a wide variety of these empowering alternatives. Self-determination is important to achieve real recovery. However, choice in the mental health field is severely limited.

  • The Disturbing Victims of Chuck Palahniuk
    The Disturbing Victims of Chuck Palahniuk Anders Westlie Master thesis at ILOS UNIVERSITETET I OSLO 16.11.2012 II The Disturbing Victims of Chuck Palahniuk III © Anders Westlie 2012 The Disturbing Victims of Chuck Palahniuk Anders Westlie http://www.duo.uio.no/ Trykk: CopyCat Express, Oslo IV Abstract The writings of Chuck Palahniuk contain a large variety of strange and interesting characters. Many of them are victims of the choices they or others made, which is how their lives become interesting. I aim to see if there is any basis in reality for some of the situations and fears that happen. I also mean that Palahniuk thinks people are afraid of the wrong things, and afraid of too many things in general, and will approach this theory in my discussion. V VI Introduction This thesis has been through an abundance of versions and changed shape and content very many times over the years; from being all psychoanalysis to pure close reading, and ended with a study of victims, fears and reactions. In the end, the amount of close reading that has gone into it has bypassed the use of theory. This is mostly a reaction to past criticism to my over-use of critics, and focusing on that rather than the texts at hand. I find my time disposition in the production process of this paper to be shame, but life will sometimes get in the way of good intentions. As such, I hope that you, dear reader, find my efforts not in vain and take some interest in what my efforts have produced.

  • Journal of Critical Psychology, Counselling and Psychotherapy Appropriate, and Have to Use Force, Which Constitutes a Threat
    Winter 2010 Peter Lehmann 209 Medicalization and Peter * Lehmann Irresponsibility Through the example of an adolescent harmed by a variety of psychiatric procedures this paper concludes that bioethical and legal action (involving public discussion of human rights violations) should be taken to prevent further uninhibited unethical medicalization of problems that are largely of a social nature. Each human being loses, if even one single person allows himself to be lowered for a purpose. (Theodor Gottlieb von Hippel the Elder, 1741–1796, German enlightener) Beside imbalance and use of power, medicalization – the social definition of human problems as medical problems – is the basic flaw at the heart of the psychiatric discipline in the opinion of many social scientists, of users and survivors of psychiatry and critical psychiatrists. Like everywhere, in the discussion of medicalization there are many pros and cons as well as intermediate positions. When we discuss medicalization, we should have a very clear view, what medicalization can mean in a concrete way for an individual and which other factors are connected with medicalization; so we can move from talk to action. Medicalization and irresponsibility often go hand in hand. Psychiatry as a scientific discipline cannot do justice to the expectation of solving mental problems that are largely of a social nature. Its propensity and practice are not * Lecture, June 29, 2010, presented to the congress ‘The real person’, organized by the University of Preston (Lancashire), Institute for Philosophy, Diversity and Mental Health, in cooperation with the European Network of (ex-) Users and Survivors of Psychiatry (ENUSP) in Manchester within the Parallel Session ‘Psychiatric Medicalization: User and Survivor Perspectives’ (together with John Sadler, Professor of Medical Ethics & Clinical Sciences at the UT Southwestern, Dallas, and Jan Verhaegh, philosopher and ENUSP board-member, Valkenburg aan de Geul, The Netherlands).
