except from sakharovs memories.
about psychiatry with political purpose in the sovjet.
POLITICAL PSYCHIATRY :
I consider the use of psychiatry with political
purpose a highly dangerous acttion from the
government.
the danger lies in that, it so directly as possible
is aimed against the mind and the sense. that
it is extremly difficult for a legal defense, that
it demoralize, discredit and humiliate the human
being.
the danger is strengthened by the inhuman and
lawless state on the psychiatry special hospitals.
by our communities general conformism and
hypocraty. and the communities closednes and
lack of free press.
I stress that I here talk about any use of psychiatry
for political and idiological purpose, not only
the placement of healthy people in psychiatry
hospitals.
actualy the authorities select as a rule their
victims among people with some divergens
from the norm. for most people a minimal
divergens. that do not demand isolation.
the criteria for psychic health is by its natur
- fluent - and that increases in an alarming
way the possibility for mistakes, arbitrari-
ness and crime. this is especially dangorous
in a community with a totalitarian ideology.
the human rights commity and the workgroup
for investegation of misuse of psychiatry have
done a valuebale effort in the struggle against
punishmentpsychiatry. a case og great impor-
tents for the human rights movement.
the authorities om their side, are very sensibel
to publication of material on this problem. in
many lawcases against human rights figthers
have these materials play an importent part
in the accusations.
one must ask oneself, if this not also to some
extent is happening in EU.
political psychiatry in the sovjet and china one always
has critizied.
but that it also can be found in for instans
USA and EU, one do not wish to talk about.
the only describtions of political psychiatry
you can find today (2004) are from china.
but without any doubt, there to some extend
is political pschiatry both in EU and USA.
