Abstract: The aim of this paper is to outline an agenda for critiques of psychiatry and other mainstream ideologies of mental health for the 21st century. While the heyday of anti-psychiatry was the period from the 1960s to the 1970s, new critiques of psychiatry, clinical psychology and psychotherapy continued to emerge throughout the last two decades of the 20th century. Some of these – not least those that emerged from the mental health service users’ movement – echoed the themes of earlier critics such as R. D. Laing… Show more

“…This is particularly pertinent in the field of mental health and distress where the challenges of living as a mental health service user are well documented (Campell, 2001;Coppock & Hopton, 2000;Hopton, 2006;Krumm & Becker, 2006;Link & Phelan, 1999;Newnes & Holmes, 1999;Parker, Georgaca, Harper, McLaughlin, & Stowell-Smith, 1995;Patel & Fatimilehin, 1999), and hence potential 'change' is very welcome. The question raised by emphases on fluidity is how is space (re)made?…”

“…Relating the film to the historical, social and political context of the last decades shows that extreme and over-simplified views of treatments and mental health care are no longer that popular (Hopton 2006). This is in sharp contrast with the general vein of the film, which strongly inscribes the body of ideas related to the anti-psychiatry movement in which mental health care is almost radically rejected in an atmosphere of distrust and antagonism.…”

“…Strong similarities can be identified in the anti-authoritarian sentiments expressed in both the novel and the film, and anti-psychiatry is very much related to the anti-authoritarian ideas of the 60s and 70s. As a social movement, anti-psychiatry radically questioned the legitimacy of psychiatry by criticising the medical interpretation of 'mental health problems', as well as the medicalisation of treatments and mental health care in general (Hopton 2006). With regard to the interpretation of 'mental health problems', even the existence of these issues was denied.…”

The introduction of education programmes to develop expert patients is also critically discussed in the included texts and is related to risks of creating an increasingly stratified service user movement and rearticulating the hierarchies of psychiatry (Hopton 2006;Lakeman et al 2007). …”
