I seem to have piqued your interest. It's too bad you won't read what I wrote or respond truthfully. There is a history in the
real world of progressive activism of argumentation regarding "dominance" styles of thinking. That stems from Adorno's work on "The Authoritarian Personality" and many subsequent developments. That’s in sync with the way "Democratic Psychiatry" is practice in Italy today, too. Here you are pushing ideology without showing that you know how to be accountable for the social meaning of pushing ideology, .. anyway, that SEEMS to be the case.Are you able to talk about the truth of "recovery" and of how we as beings "involved with 'madness'" are to find social justice? Or is it your "job" [that's your reference] to manage the CNMHC/Calif. "clients" while keeping us in the dark about what you really think?
My first thought about reading this last paragraph is that only an idiot would write it. I know you’re not an idiot, so you have some other agenda, besides acting stupid.
In dialectics, that's known as "recognizing a contradiction in one's response."
If you can't figure out what I do, how I do it, and what I write about then perhaps you are not finished going to school yet.
I have a Ph.D. in mathematics 1987 which I earned as a mental health 'client'.
Yup that is my opinion take it or leave it.
Denial is the evident strategy you use.
My actions speak for themselves.
