TW forced hospitalization Psych clinicians keep CITING research that it's the therapeutic REL, not the type of therapy that determine successful treatment. But never acknowledge that it's impossible to have a truly therapeutic relationship when one side can lock you up for saying the wrong thing.

I get that various forms of psychiatry have been a tool of social control but I'm confused ABT why suicide/"Self harm“are threatening to the Social order that they are criminalized or result in other legal restrictions. I suspect there are some excellent readings ABT this RECCS?

My EXP ABLEIST discrimination by far too many progressive/leftist therapists is them saying: I don't have EXP W disabled PPL. You'd be better served by someone who does.
They seem to have no interest in actually acquiring EXP by actually serving disabled PPL and assume that someone else does.
