Years ago I went to see my old T. She wasn't optimistic about the changes since the 70s and seemed to expect the biological paradigm and DSMIV type thinking to be the end of the kind of therapy she had practiced.
It's interesting that you mention 'Sanity Madness and the Family'. Something someone said on the main board had brought it to mind.....(Breggin does not equal Szasz does not equal Laing, Esterson or David Cooper.)
What happened to David Cooper anyway?

So he's dead then? And died young? Well, you'd have to be an optimist to think a revolution would help.
However I do feel that in families people share realities, and that often does not turn out well.You should to be able to find someone. I don't live in the US.
I see a psychiatrist who spends his time talking about how terrible the profession is medicalising everything, which is OK, but doesn't embolden me to ask for an ADHD diagnosis.
