Bryan Caplan, economist and bestselling author, discusses practical wisdom from modern economics and ancient philosophy.He argues against medicalization of human behavior, champions personal agency, and reveals why appeasement often beats confrontation. Caplan shows how lessons from economics can serve as self-help and why creating a "social bubble" – the modern version of an Epicurean garden – might be the smartest way to navigate modern life.The conversation spans Epicurean and Stoic perspectives on death, social obligations, and the thinker Thomas Szasz.Self-Help Is Like a VaccineThe Myth of the Rational VoterCaplan on Szasz***Subscribe to The Stoa Letter for weekly meditations, actions, and links to the best Stoic resources: www.stoaletter.com/subscribeDownload the Stoa app (it's a free download): https://stoameditation.com/podIf you try the Stoa app and find it useful, but truly cannot afford it, email us and we'll set you up with a free account.Listen to more episodes and learn more here: https://stoameditation.com/blog/stoa-conversations/Thanks to Michael Levy for graciously letting us use his music in the conversations: https://ancientlyre.com/

As St. John draws us more deeply into his understanding of prayer and the experience of intimacy with God, he begins to emphasize the importance of maintaining purity of heart and humility. Either through negligence or through demonic provocation, we can find ourselves being driven not by the Holy Spirit toward God but rather driven by the desires of the flesh. The vulnerability of prayer, opening our minds and our hearts to God, also carries with it the need to have established watchfulness of heart. If we have not we can indiscriminately open ourselves up to certain dangers. For example, we may allow our mind to wander during prayer in such a way that we turn away from God. It can even happen that in this turning away we are move towards the enemies of God. Like Judas we can share most intimately with the Lord at the table of the holy Eucharist and then immediately be driven out by an unholy spirit into the darkness. It is those who are closest to Christ who often betray him the most.  We all take certain things for granted. This is true in our relationship with God. We can treat that relationship cheaply; enter into it with a kind of familiarity to the point that we lose sight of the preciousness of what God has made possible for us. Our attachment to the things of this world or to individuals can fill our minds and our hearts even during the time of prayer. Therefore, John wants us to have no illusions about what it is that we ask for and seek in prayer. Our greatest desire should be what leads us to God and what endures unto eternity. As Saint James tell us: “we ask, but we do not receive because we ask wrongly.” We seek only the satisfy our natural wants and desires.  As it has been said, “The fool's portion is small in his eyes.” Often we do not see the beauty of what God offers us. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:12:58 Bob Cihak, AZ: P.239, #50   00:13:44 Tracey Fredman: Reacted to "P.239, #50" with

Dimes and Judas discuss the sexual controversy of pears and breaking minds with wank Juggalo memes, and Greta Thunberg deflecting claims of antisemitism with the power of autism. This leads directly into the latest developments of the Israel/Gaza conflict and an expansion/rant on the response to the previous episode's season/balanced arguments. From there they launch into a searing indictment on mental illness, citing the book “The Therapeutic State” by Thomas Szasz, part of a famous corpus denouncing the entire field of psychiatry from the mind of a renowned psychologist. Dissecting what he termed the “medicalization of penalization,” they strike at the core of the mythology of mental health itself.

The Rational Egoist: The Myth of Mental Illness and the Therapeutic State with Jeffrey Schaler In this episode of The Rational Egoist, host Michael Liebowitz interviews Jeffrey Schaler, author of "Szasz Under Fire," to discuss Thomas Szasz's psychology and his belief that mental illness is a myth. They delve into the concept of involuntary psychiatry and the notion that no one should be forced into treatment. They explore the idea that mental health is an existential problem of living and that individuals must be free to make their own decisions.Schaler argues that even with mental illness, people still have the free will to make good decisions. He challenges the notion that just because someone hears a voice telling them to do something, it means they must do it. Schaler also questions the validity of mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or anxiety, as physical malfunctions since the mind cannot be identified through an autopsy.The conversation also touches on the idea of gender being a subjective experience of being male or female, while sex is the biological component. They discuss how branding someone as mentally ill due to identifying as a different gender takes away their freedom of speech and uses psychology as law.The episode concludes with a discussion on addiction and the belief that it is not a disease, but rather a volitional behavior that people can control. Liebowitz and Schaler argue that psychology has become an extension of the law, and that psychologists cannot know with certainty who may harm themselves or others. They challenge the idea that statistics are used in courts to remove responsibility and plead insanity, and emphasize the importance of individual freedom and responsibility in mental health treatment. Michael Liebowitz is a philosopher, political activist, and host of the Rational Egoist podcast. He is a passionate advocate of reason and his views have been heavily influenced by the philosopher Ayn Rand. Liebowitz has dedicated his life to promoting its principles of rational self-interest, individualism, and reason. In addition to his work as a podcast host, Liebowitz is also a prominent spokesperson for the Libertarian Party for Connecticut - USA and has been involved in a number of political debates advocating for individual rights and freedoms through his YouTube videos and interviews. Liebowitz's life story is a testament to the transformative power of the writings of Ayn Rand. After spending 25 years in prison, he was able to turn his life around by embracing the principles of rational self-interest and morality espoused by Ayn Rand. He has since become an influential voice in the libertarian and Objectivist communities, using his own experience to inspire others to live their lives in accordance with reason, individualism, and self-interest. Liebowitz is also the co-author of "Down the Rabbit Hole: How the Culture of Correction Encourages Crime," a book that explores the ways in which misguided societal attitudes towards punishment and rehabilitation have led to a rise in crime and recidivism. In addition to his work in politics and philosophy, Liebowitz is a regular guest on the Todd Feinburg show at WTIC, where he provides expert commentary on a range of political and social issues.

#20 - The Myth of Mental Illness - Book Review

Today we are reviewing 'The Myth of Mental Illness by Dr Thomas Szasz which gives a critique of the psychiatric field and tries to explain why there is no such thing as mental illness. Now as you can tell by the title of this episode, this is quite a controversial book, we mean no offence but we thought it would be interesting to review it and see how it compares with the mainstream idea of therapeutics and psychiatry. Dr Szasz's main point about mental illness is that it refers to the mind, which is not a biological construct but a mere abstraction of the brain, thus suggesting that there is no such thing as mental illness as any illness must be biological. How this biological illness may have started is a different matter. The book is based around the concept of diagnosing something based on biological or environmental causes. How do you tell which is having an effect on the individual and how should one go about helping that individual, a drug for a biological cause or therapy for an environmental one. In this episode, we touch on many topics such as incentives to diagnose, free will in regard to overcoming an illness, drugs and whether they are a solution, and much more.I do recommend you give it a listen, if anything it just makes you question the system that we take so freely for granted. Whether he is right in his observations, it is an interesting listen that I guarantee will spark a bit of interest.

The unconventional psychologist Thomas Szasz pointed out the strange contradiction in the cultural standard of what we consider sane in this quote: “If you talk to God, you are praying; If God talks to you, you have schizophrenia.” In societies with a negative association around hearing voices, people normally have negative experiences when they hear voices. In places with a positive cultural association, people will have a positive experience, believing that people who hear such things are somehow gifted, they are shamans or healers. Sometimes what people refer to as “the voice of God” is something that we all have access to, the voice of our intuition, our deepest internal wisdom. When we listen to it and heed it, wonderful things just might happen. For the transcript: Talk to God A Beautiful Thought --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/beautiful-thought/message

5/20/2021 - In the fifty-eighth episode of Beyond Talking Points, Matt and Matt use a video of the late psychiatrist Thomas Szasz as a starting point for a discussion on psychiatry, and the mental health field as a whole. Does mental illness exist? Is it morally permissible to hold people against their will in a psychiatric institution? These questions and more are explored here. This is not necessarily an outright political topic, but it is a relevant and polarizing topic.

L'Antipsichiatria è stato (ed è) un movimento culturale che ha paradossalmente contribuito a migliorare la psichiatria. Ma che cos'è l'antipsichiatria? Perché si è sviluppata? Che fine ha fatto ai giorni nostri?Vediamo che le discussioni su mente e cervello, su normalità e patologia o le infinite diatribe su gentica, natura e ambiente nella genesi e nelle definizione dei disturbi mentali, hanno sempre fatto parte della storia della psichiatria e, probabilmente, continueranno a farne parte ancora per un bel po’ in futuro. In ogni caso buona parte di queste discussioni, sicuramente, sono state alla base del più forte e celebre attacco "dall'esterno" alla psichiatria, negli anni Sessanta e Settanta, in quel grosso fiume di idee, posizioni politiche e di critiche che prese il nome di "movimento antipsichiatrico". Nei primi anni Sessanta, purtroppo, ci furono diversi scandali sugli ospedali psichiatrici e inoltre la pubblicazione di “Asylums” di Erving Goffman, sul concetto di istituzione totale, tutte queste cose avevano preparato il terreno per un'offensiva devastante nei confronti della psichiatria e degli psichiatri: non una critica su una qualche pratica o sui fallimenti del sistema, ma un vero e proprio assalto alla legittimità stessa della psichiatria e al suo diritto di esistere come parte della medicina.I principali protagonisti di questa fase storica iniziale dell'antipsichiatria degli anni '60 e '70 sono stati Thomas Szasz, Michel Foucault e Ronald David Laing, detto R.D. Laing.#antipsichiatria #psichiatriaIl Dr. Valerio Rosso, su questo canale YouTube, si dedica a produrre delle brevi lezioni di psichiatria rivolte ai pazienti, agli operatori della salute mentale, ai famigliari dei pazienti, agli studenti di medicina, agli specializzandi in psichiatria e a chiunque sia interessato alla salute mentale, alla psichiatria ed alle neuroscienze.

Rabbi Kivelevitz begins the podcast by noting recent social events where contemporary notions of human rights are given precedence to traditional ideas of religious freedom. He particularly points to such causes as climate change and environmental consciousness as values which gained high visibility. Prof. Juni then addresses the religious, psychological, and psychiatric notions of morality and values. He points out that many modern thinkers have promoted the notion that science can be the basis for human values, in contrast to Locke and other philosophers whose notions of human rights were based on divine revelation (as incorporated into the U.S. Constitution). He also notes that psychiatry definitely views individuals who do not have a sense of right and wrong as defective. At the same time, Prof. Juni notes that even the psychiatric diagnostic formulation of psychopathy has been seen by some critics (notably Thomas Szasz) as reflecting political social enforcement tools rather than being medically based as such. Kivelevitz responds by discussing morality under the philosophical notion of natural law. He points out that the biblical stories of Cain and Abel and Sodom/Gomorrah hinge on values before they were codified in the Torah. He also cites underlying themes of morality throughout the Torah (particularly in citations from Isaiah) which are not linked to specific commandments, arguing that right and wrong have historically been viewed as intrinsic human notions. Juxtaposing that with the elevation of environmentalism (being green) to the more traditional moral values, Juni and Kivelevitz grapple with the chicken-egg problem --whether intuitive notions of right and wrong proceeded codified religious/social mandates versus the converse. Dr. Juni notes that notions of “should” or “ought” originate developmentally from parental injunctions which are then internalized, eventually becoming autonomous concepts which no longer link to external reinforcers.Outlining the perspective of the Rishonim (middle age Talmudic authorities of the first half of the 11thto 12thCentury) on the nature of morality, Kivelevitz argues that Western intelligentsia essentially hijack religious imperatives as they formulate universal values (such as democracy) bereft of their religious sources. He cites the contemporary prevalence of politico-social enforcers (exemplified by Cancel-Culture and PETA shaming strategies) as deplorable means of inculcating positive values. Doctor Samuel Juniis one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today.He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.Samuel Juni studied inYeshivas Chaim Berlinunder Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as aTalmidof Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick.ProfessorJuni is a prominent member of theAssociation of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences.Associated with NYU since 1979,Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research.Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded onpsychometric methodologyand based on a psycho-dynamicpsychopathologyperspective.He is arguably the preeminent expert inDifferential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studiesentailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.Professor Juni created and directed NYU's Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titledCross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments.Based inYerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.Below is a partial list of the journalsto which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 articles.Many are available on lineJournal of Forensic PsychologyJournal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma.International Review of VictimologyThe Journal of Nervous and Mental DiseaseInternational Forum of PsychoanalysisJournal of Personality AssessmentJournal of Abnormal PsychologyJournal of Psychoanalytic AnthropologyPsychophysiologyPsychology and Human DevelopmentJournal of Sex ResearchJournal of Psychology and JudaismContemporary Family TherapyAmerican Journal on AddictionsJournal of Criminal PsychologyMental Health, Religion & CultureAs Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves asRavandPosekfor the morningminyanat IDT.Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weeklyShiurinTshuvos and Poskim.Rav Kivelevitz is aMaggid ShiurforDirshu Internationalin Talmud and Halacha as well as a Dayan with theBeth Din of America.Please leave us a review or email us at ravkiv@gmail.comFor more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Both discussants grapple with the intersection (or perhaps, clash) of psychiatry and Halacha in the mental competence domain. Rabbi Kivelevitz detailed how Mental Health experts are regularly consulted by Bet Din in halachic child custody case. Kivelevitz further relates that competence is a quandary in Talmudic discourse primarily in the arena of marriage/divorce. He enumerates the limited Talmudic behavioral criteria of incompetence: Sleeping in the cemetery, walking alone at night, destroying one's clothing, and losing important items.Dr. Juni and Kivelevitz exchange barbs about the degree of overlap between the medical Psychosis diagnosis and the lay notion of “crazy.” The Rabbi cautions against the labeling idiosyncrasies as mental disorders, seeing this as the basis for Halacha's reluctance to accept the psychiatric disqualification of individuals. Dr. Juni juxtaposes this stance to Thomas Szasz's decrying psychiatry as a political tool of suppression of the different.The salience of competence in Forensics concerns the construct of criminality regarding liability and punishment. Dr. Juni points out that different states have various criteria that may be used to disqualify voters, contrasting the equivocal rationale disqualifying felons with the more cogent disqualification of the mentally incompetent. He further points out that voting restriction refer solely to intellectual limitations, claiming there is no state which lists psychiatric incompetence as a criterion.The professor presents the forensic-legal premise behind disqualifying testimony of those with intellectual limitations. The assumption there is that the threat of punishment for possible perjury is the main deterrent which keeps witnesses honest. Consequently, those who do not adequately understand possible consequences of presenting false testimony cannot be assumed to feel compelled to tell the truth.Regarding testimony disqualification based on mental incompetence, Rabbi Kivelevitz explains that Halachic jurisprudence is quite similar to its civil counterpart in contemporary court systems, where testimony is not sees as an independent cause of legal consequence, but rather as one of many factors which are taken into account by judges. As such, testimony may be advisory at most, and its relevance is merely secondary and not central; more crucially: it is the judge who is directly responsible for the ensuing legal decision. Juni feels this to be a stark parallel to the rationale of the Electoral College in the American constitution, where voters are seeing as merely choosing representatives who are then responsible for decisions. In both cases,the precise criteria of competence (of witnesses or voters, respectively) therefore become less relevant.Donning his hat of expertise in the History of Scientific Philosophy, Dr. Juni argues that the notion that behaviors may be indicative (or symptomatic) of an underlying condition is not characteristic of systematic analytic thinking in Talmudic times. From the stance of presentism, Prof. Juni argues that the four Talmudic criteria of mental deficit seem to be based on the clear danger of certain behaviors – with some of the so-called clarity being based on superstition – and that the rationale there is that people who brazenly ignore personal safety concerns are obviously not thinking rationally.Accordingly, he challenges his co-host to explain whether the Talmudic criteria of incompetence harken back to a unitary conceptualization of intellectual deficit and – furthermore – whether such an underlying construct accommodates psychiatric disorder as well. Surprisingly, R. Kivelevitz does not disagree with Dr. Juni's implications, but argues that the halachic system explicitly empowers rabbinic scholars to extrapolate and expand text-based constructs in their application of narrower Torah-based laws and concepts. Kivelevitz recognizes the cryptic anachronistic terminology of the original halachic sources, but he asserts that paradigmatic shifts definitely occur periodically as Halacha is interpreted and applied to evolving social, cultural, and scientific changes in the world. He insists that these more modern adaptation are definitely anticipated by the primary Tana'im in the Mishna and prominent codifies in the 1200's.Describing Halacha as dynamic instead of static, R. Kivelevitz argues thatHalacha would otherwise be relegated to an irrelevant historical museum artifact.Both discussant seem to concur that bridging the psychiatric and halachic perspectives on mental and psychiatric competence are not necessarily incongruent, but they do not resolve the key question: What is the likelihood of constructing a connecting conceptual bridge between these the two worlds?Doctor Samuel Juniis one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today.He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.Samuel Juni studied inYeshivas Chaim Berlinunder Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as aTalmidof Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick.ProfessorJuni is a prominent member of theAssociation of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences.Associated with NYU since 1979,Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research.Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded onpsychometric methodologyand based on a psycho-dynamicpsychopathologyperspective.He is arguably the preeminent expert inDifferential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studiesentailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.Professor Juni created and directed NYU's Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titledCross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments.Based inYerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.Below is a partial list of the journalsto which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 articles.Many are available on lineJournal of Forensic PsychologyJournal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma.International Review of VictimologyThe Journal of Nervous and Mental DiseaseInternational Forum of PsychoanalysisJournal of Personality AssessmentJournal of Abnormal PsychologyJournal of Psychoanalytic AnthropologyPsychophysiologyPsychology and Human DevelopmentJournal of Sex ResearchJournal of Psychology and JudaismContemporary Family TherapyAmerican Journal on AddictionsJournal of Criminal PsychologyMental Health, Religion & CultureAs Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves asRavandPosekfor the morningminyanat IDT.Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weeklyShiurinTshuvos and Poskim.Rav Kivelevitz is aMaggid ShiurforDirshu Internationalin Talmud and Halacha as well as a Dayan with theBeth Din of America.Please leave us a review or email us at ravkiv@gmail.comFor more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Witches, Episode #1 of 4. In 1973, two professors active in the women’s health movement wrote a pamphlet for women to read in the consciousness-raising reading groups. The pamphlet, inspired by Our Bodies, Ourselves, looked to history to explain how women had been marginalized in their own healthcare. Women used to be an important part of the medical profession as midwives, they argued -- but the midwives were forced out of practice because they were so often considered witches and persecuted by the patriarchy in the form of the Catholic Church. The idea that midwives were regularly accused of witchcraft seemed so obvious that it quickly became taken as fact. There was only one problem: it wasn’t true.

His research takes an evolutionary approach to non-infectious diseases, with a focus on mental health. He investigates tobacco use in the larger context of human use of plant secondary compounds. He investigates depression, suicide, and deliberate self-harm as potential signaling strategies. Child growth and development is a research theme that grew out of his work on postpartum depression. He has also recently begun testing evolutionary models of leadership, as part of his more general interest in the evolution of human social organization. Finally, he has published a number of theoretical papers on evolutionary approaches to ontogeny, cognition, and behavior. In this episode, we talk about the application of evolutionary anthropology to a better understanding of mental illness. We refer to the importance of the social context of the individual. We address Thomas Szasz's work, and a constructive theory of mental illness. We then get into the bargaining model and costly signaling, and how it applies to suicide, anger, depression, self-harm, and postpartum depression. We also refer to alternative models, like inclusive fitness model. Then, we explore the paradox of drug reward in humans, and why we consume plant neurotoxins from adolescence onward in all societies, and we talk about the age and sex difference in substance use.

I hope you've enjoyed these episode on Common Therapist Errors, and I apologize in advance if any of the ideas I'm proposing in today's podcast seem "over the top" or simply off base. I teach with great passion, but I'm not always right! Fortunately, my esteemed host, Dr. Fabrice Nye, challenges me quite a bit, and he is almost always right. Hopefully, you will enjoy our dialogue and the chance to think a bit more critically about psychotherapy.  And when you find I've made an error, or said something offensive to you, I hope you will put it in perspective. I'm kind of a mixed bag, to be honest. I believe I have a lot to offer, but I've got tons of flaws, too! I fight my flaws, but not always with success. For better or worse, here are today's therapist errors!  1. Confusing psychoeducation with psychotherapy. Pyschoeducation can be helpful, but it's rarely curative. Effective psychotherapy requires much more. Here are some examples of helpful psychoeducation: Teaching people about the list of ten common cognitive distortions from David's book, Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy Teaching people how to pinpoint their negative feelings at any moment in time using David's Daily Mood Log Teaching people that your thoughts, and not external events, create all of your positive and negative feelings Explaining the Five Secrets of Effective Communication etc. etc. etc. Psychotherapy means helping people CHANGE the way they think and feel, or helping people develop more loving and satisfying personal relationships. That requires a great deal of therapeutic skill and hard work on the part of the patient--during sessions and between sessions. it also requires a warm and trusting therapeutic alliance. 2. Belief in Gurus. Believing that the individuals who start schools of therapy are nice and well-balanced individuals! David describes conversations with the late Albert Ellis, PhD, who argued that many, and arguably most, are incredibly narcissistic and manipulative. Sometimes, individuals who appear incredibly charming and brilliant and inspiring have a dark underbellies they are keeping hidden! David argues that it might be more desirable to have a science-based, data driven, systematic approach to psychotherapy, as opposed to a field dominated by therapeutic schools, which sometimes function almost like competing cults. 3. Reverse / “backward” statistical reasoning. Most therapists who work with patients with Borderline Personality Disorder as well as Multiple Personality Disorder, as well as patients who are prone to violence, believe that childhood trauma, deprivation, or abuse is the main cause of these problems. They believe this because patients with those diagnoses frequently describe traumatic experiences in their past, so they assume those experiences caused the patient's disorder.  This is a statistical and conceptual error, because most individuals who experienced traumas when growing up never developed Borderline Personality Disorder or Multiple Personality Disorder. This is not to say that traumas are unimportant—traumatic experiences at any phase of life can be very damaging. What this DOES mean is that most psychiatric problems have other causes.  What are those other causes? They are not known, for the most part. This information is not easy for many people to accept. For example, I just found this statement on WebMd: “As many as 99% of individuals who develop dissociative disorders have recognized personal histories of recurring, overpowering, and often life-threatening disturbances at a sensitive developmental stage of childhood (usually before age 9)." Here’s another web comment: “Several studies have shown that a diagnosis of BPD is associated with child abuse and neglect more than any other personality disorders [7, 8], with a range between 30 and 90% in BPD patients [7, 9].” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5472954/ The same source also stated that: “. . . Widom and collaborators [12] followed 500 children who had suffered physical and sexual abuse and neglect and 396 matched controls, and they observed that . . . the presence of a risk factor, such as adverse childhood events, was not necessary or sufficient to explain the reason why some individuals developed BPD symptoms in adulthood, whereas others did not.” If you are interested, you can find the references to these studies at the end of this blog. Here is one way of understanding this error. Childhood sexual abuse is far more common in the population (typically estimated in the range of 15% of men and 25% of women), and if you add childhood trauma or neglect, these percentages in crease even more. AT the same time, the incidence of Borderline Personality Disorder or Dissociative Identity Disorder are typically estimated around 1%. That means that most individuals who have experienced childhood sexual abuse, neglect or trauma do not develop these disorders.  I do not in any way mean to minimize the importance of trauma, sexual abuse or neglect. The impact of these experiences can be profound and can include physical as well as psychological problems. My only point, and perhaps it is an overly humble one, is that we simply do not know the causes of most (or any) of the problems listed in the DSM5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association.) I think it is great that we have many treatments that can be helpful and effective for individuals, but it might not further our cause to jump to conclusions about the causes of things based on what we see before our eyes when we are doing clinical work. Sometimes, seeing is believing, but sometimes, our "seeing" can be misleading.  I hope I have not offended anyone!  4. Believing in Mental Disorders. Do the so-called Mental Disorders” described in the DSM actually exist? Or are they simply the fabrics of our imagination? Years ago, Thomas Szasz, a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, wrote a popular and controversial book called The Myth of Mental Illness, in which he claimed that mental disorders do not exist. David argues that Szasz was only partially right. Most of what we see in the DSM are simply arbitrary constructs, and not real "disorders." For example, most people worry about things from time to time. Worrying is unpleasant but normal, and there is a wide range of worrying in the population. Some people rarely worry, and some people almost constantly worry, and most of us are in-between.  The American Psychiatric Association will take the group who worry the most, and give them a label of "Generalized Anxiety Disorder." But there is no such "thing." It is not a real brain disorder. The same problem afflicts a great many of the so-called "disorders" listed in the DSM. These are problems, not brain disorders. However, there are several real brain disorders, such as schizophrenia, Bipolar I Manic-Depressive Illness, and Alzheimer's Disease. These are disorders of brain tissue or wiring, and are not simply variants of normal human behavior or experience.  When I work with individuals, I measure the severity of symptoms and say things like this, "Jim, I can see you tend to be very shy (or depressed or anxious, or whatever.)" I do not say, "Jim, I want you to know you have a brain disorder called "Social Anxiety Disorder," because I feel that is potentially upsetting to the patient and not really "true." In addition, shyness can be fairly easily treated in most cases without medication. Most non-MD therapists do not make the mistake of confusing symptoms with "mental disorders." It seems likely to me (David) that psychiatrist are more likely to make this mental error, since psychiatry, as I understand it, is emulating the medical model of diagnosis followed by medication treatment or some other kind of biological intervention.  5. Ignoring a Diagnostic Evaluation. Most therapists skip a formal diagnostic evaluation, because the DSM is so difficult to work with, and since a formal diagnostic interview can be frustrating and time-consuming. And, as I pointed out in my discussion of the previous error, it is somewhat misleading to tell patients they have mental disorders, like "Generalized Anxiety Disorder" or "Social Anxiety Disorder," when, in reality, the patient is simply shy or has a tendency to worry a lot. And yet, there can be significant negative consequences of NOT doing a thorough initial evaluation of the patient's many symptoms, since you can easily overlook something important, like drug or alcohol abuse, or suicidal or violent urges in new patient. The EASY Diagnostic Survey provides a fresh and helpful option. patients can complete it on their own, between sessions, and it automatically diagnoses more than 50 of the most common "disorders" in DSM5. Then the therapist can review it during a session and assign the diagnoses in less than ten minutes in most cases. This provides the therapist with an accurate map of the patient's problems. You do not have to think of them as a variety of "mental disorders," but rather as areas of suffering and difficulty. I don't tell myself I'm treating "Generalized Anxiety Disorder," but rather treating a human being who is troubled by constant and excessive worrying--and fortunately, that is very treatable!

In 2016 he received the Thomas S. Szasz Award for Outstanding Contributions to the Cause of Civil Liberties. In the episode we discuss: How Michael came to be a Professor of Classics and Literature. How studying the ancient world helps us to understand what the first scientists thought about mental or emotional distress. The first use of the phrase ‘psychiatric ward’ which can be found at the Library of Alexandria in Northern Egypt. That the phrase that ultimately became the word ‘Psychiatry’ in ancient times actually meant a “Healing Place for the Soul” and is inscribed above library entrances even today (ΨΥΧΗΣ ΙΑΤΡΕΙΟΝ or Psyches iatreion). The links between the Rosenhan experiment and a comedic play written 2,200 years ago by the ancient Roman playwright T. Maccius Plautus. That, in the ancient world, there was no long term incarceration in prisons or asylums. The relationship between the Hippocratic/medical model (the humoral theory) and the Epicurean model of mental or emotional distress. That, in the ancient world, depression didn’t exist, and that the solutions for unhappiness were based in the community or in Philosophy. That about 1700 years ago, the Roman Empire entered a state of decline and it became mandatory to become Christian and during this time the philosophical view of mental distress died away to be overtaken by a supernatural understanding. Some of the similarities between the Epicurean model and the work of Thomas Szasz.

My chosen profession has been in the so-called mental health field but all that was ever discussed by those in my profession were so called mental illnesses which later in my career were redefined as mental disorders. I have long argued, along with Thomas Szasz and numerous others, that mental illnesses are metaphorical in nature and are rarely, if ever, defined in terms of real medical problems. Therefore the terms mental illness and disorders are in reality negative moral judgments of unwanted, poorly understood patterns of how individuals think, act, express emotion or otherwise adapt to the total circumstances of their lives. Mental illnesses are adaptations unwanted and deemed inferior and harmful by the individuals themselves or by families, friends or society at large. How then might we define mental health? I suggest that actually we see the so-called mentally healthy as individuals whose adaptations to life are wanted, accepted, perhaps admired and therefore represent positive moral judgments in their own eyes and the eyes of those with whom they interact. Any individual might be simultaneously judged to be mentally ill or healthy by themselves, family members or the society in which they are embedded. I will discuss the endless difficulties of my being a professional called on to help individuals morally judged to be mentally ill or disordered especially after I decided that my role was not only "reduce or eliminate their illnesses" but help them achieve "mental health" and that my professional role had little, if nothing to do with medicine!

1-20-15 NWMOSTATE JONATHAN HARNISCH: GUEST SPEAKER - Jonathan Harnisch Media Blog http://www.jhpage.com/1/post/2015/01/1-20-15-nwmostate-jonathan-harnisch-guest-speaker.html Class Agenda: • When should someone seek assistance? • What is a diagnosis? • When do we diagnose? • How come Thomas Szasz, (Psychiatrist; 1920-2012) says society creates abnormality? • (Ironically, while Szasz's political position (that people should not be locked up just for being different) prevailed, many in the psychological and psychiatric professions rejected his theoretical position (that there is no such thing as mental illness). For example, Kety (1974), responding to Szasz's statement that mental illness is a myth, collected all the evidence for genetic influences on schizophrenia. He concluded, "If schizophrenia is a myth, it is a myth with a strong genetic component" (p.961, “The Myth of Mental Illness: Foundations of a Theory of Personal Conduct,” 1961.) • What are some of the historical treatments of mental illness? • Who have been some of the first early names for writing treatments? Guest Speaker: Jonathan Harnisch, Author of Jonathan Harnisch: An Alibiography (2014), Second Alibi: The Banality of Life (2014), Sex, Drugs, and Schizophrenia (2014), and Lover in the Nobody (2014); Film Producer and Screenwriter of On the Bus, all of which are studied in the genre of mental illness and schizophrenia, in particular, based on Harnisch's personal experiences, and also being taught by Dr Edwards, PhD-MBA, at Northwest Missouri State University, in Maryville, MO.
