Yxibow,
That was really interesting-the information about Scientology. I never knew the organization was so cult-like. It's a shame so many have to be so extreme-"meds are bad; meds are good".
I do see some validity in the anti-psych movements though. Much of society's output is a result of power, money, and control, and organizations are created out of want for power money and control. Psychiatry is no different in being affected by those variables.
When I was reading what you wrote about Scientology, I was thinking about the similarities betweeen it and the U.S. government, many religions, and other organizations. Human beings, as leaders of groups seek such things, organize around power, money, and control. In fact, economics is replacing the discipline of sociology and hints at replacing anthropology.
