Not that i have great doubts, but a reference would be nice on such a controversial statement. I think small neighbourhood clinics would be so much better. The PQ gov. in Canada set them up in its wisdom, but they are out-clinics. Maybe the US has something similar? HMOs? Erin

That's why a ref. would be nice. Erin

That goes without saying. SEE The Flies by Jean Paul Sartre http://www.sparknotes.com/drama/theflies/section6.rhtml "freedom specifically requires that the being- for-itself not be either a being-for-others or a being-in-itself. A being-for- others occurs when human beings accept morals thrust onto them by others. A being-in-itself occurs when human beings do not separate themselves from objects of nature." In many cases, the motive for incarcerating an individual in a psych ward is a sinister one: To wit: to exact retribution against them for living an existence wherein their being is for themselves, rather then, an existence where their beings-for-others or being-in-itself. Transforming individuals from individuals whose existence is charactererized by their being for themself TO individuals whose existence is that of being-in-itself or being-for-others IS the ultimage goal of the retribution exacted against individuals whose exist as beings for themselves via incarceration in psych wards Whenever such individuals lack the financial wherewithal to emigrate to other countries and/or the emotional wherewithal to survive stark reality living off the land/streets, such individuals will OFF themselves rather then live an existence wherein they're liberty is dependant upon their acquiesing to the inherently evil others who employ psychiatric coercion to transform anyone who won't exist as beings for inherently evil others to being for inherently evil others. |
