An awful legacy of DSM culture is that a generation of psychs & therapists now believe its legit (in no time) to shoehorn complex humanity into a crude, pre-established psych-construct, & keep them their via confirmation bias. This isn’t ‘experience’ at work but ‘indoctrination’.

Tonight, we had pancakes served with Canadian maple syrup. I opted for Canadian maple syrup instead of syrup from the USA as a small act of solidarity with Canada. 🇦🇺🇨🇦

The mental health sector has an elite, & like any elite it tries to stay in power. And the way it does this is by not merely controlling the resources & decision making, but by controlling the cognitive map: what we think, what language we think with & what new ideas are allowed.

Grace Tame is a brilliant, strategic activist. Like Trump & Murdoch, she understands the power of attention. The difference is she uses hers for good, not evil. My latest in Nine Media. www.smh.com.au/national/tam...
Tame Grace? Good luck with that. I delight in her brave belligerence
As a lifelong feminist, witnessing the blunt and precise advocacy of women like Grace Tame fills me with joy.
