Humanistic antipsychiatry and the Journal of Critical Psychology, Counselling and Psychotherapy - a personal retrospective
Abstract
People in severe distress (and corresponding psychiatric treatment) die 20-25 years earlier than the general population. Mainstream psychiatrists and journalists listening to them are hardly mentioning this catastrophe. Over the past two decades, the Journal of Critical Psychology, Counselling and Psychotherapy (JCPCP) has published a large number of my articles dealing with the consequences of a natural scientific understanding and treatment of mental problems that are largely of a social nature and with measures for appropriate, user-oriented and defined support. In other words, JCPCP enables a counter to the positions of biological psychiatry with the positions of humanistic anti-psychiatry. The journal is unique.
