Anti-psychiatry: Encyclopedia II - Anti-psychiatry - Origins of anti-psychiatry

The term "anti-psychiatry" was first used by David Cooper in 1967, though opposition to either psychiatry in general, or its practices, predates this coinage; surrealism's opposition to psychiatry predates it by decades. R. D. Laing, a psychiatrist, has been very influential; another psychiatrist, Thomas Szasz, is equally important, but both rejected the label "anti-psychiatry". Other critics of psychiatry often associated with the anti-psychiatry movement include Dr. Peter Breggin, Dr. Elliott Valenstein, Bruce Levine, Douglas C. Smith and ...

Most of the scientific and medical communities view anti-psychiatry as a fringe movement that loses credibility as evidence is gathered that documents the neurobiological basis for serious mental illness. The discovery of evidence suggestive of biological and genetic basis for many serious mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder[3] has not eroded support for the anti-psychia ...

Anti-psychiatry: Encyclopedia - Anti-fascism

Anti-fascism is a belief and practice of opposing all forms of fascism. Typically, anti-fascism also includes opposing homophobia, sexism, racism and the restriction of civil liberties. While violent or militant anti-fascism does occur, the movement can also be non-violent; being an anti-fascist is not necessarily to "fight" fascism with violence, and many antifa activists consider it to be no better than the fascists themselves. An anti-fascist is one who opposes fascism, and/or engages in anti-fascist direct action. The term antifa is a commonly used word for anti-fascist action. Many major resistan ...

Anti-psychiatry: Encyclopedia - Anti-Federalism

Anti-Federalism was the name given to two distinct counter-movements in late 18th Century American politics: The first Anti-Federalist movement formed in reaction to the Federalist movement of the 1780s.

Anti-psychiatry: Encyclopedia - Anti-Zionism

Anti-Zionism is a term used to describe several different political and religious points of view. Anti-Zionist positions have in common some form of opposition to Zionism, but their diversity in terms of motivation and expression is so great that anti-Zionism cannot be seen as a single phenomenon. This article examines opposition to Zionism both historically and as it currently exists. Zionism is variously defined as a Jewish national liberation movement that holds that a Jewish nation has existed for thousands of ...

Anti-psychiatry: Encyclopedia - Anti-racism

Anti-racism refers to beliefs, actions, movements, and policies adopted or developed to oppose racism. In general, anti-racism is intended to promote an egalitarian society in which people do not face discrimination on the basis of their race, however defined.

Anti-psychiatry: Encyclopedia - Anti-Mormonism

Anti-Mormonism refers to affirmative opposition to Mormonism as an institution. In general usage, anti-Mormonism is more than mere criticism of or disagreement with Latter Day Saint doctrines or policies; rather, it also involves opposition to the religion's existence, usually by other Christians on grounds of faith, or by others on political or sociological grounds. The term anti-Mormonism is also used pejoratively (in a sense similar to anti-Semitism, although Mormonism is not an ethnicity) by some Latter Day Saints to ...

Anti-Semitism (alternatively spelled antisemitism) is hostility toward or prejudice against Jews as a religious, ethnic, or racial group, which can range from individual hatred to institutionalized, violent persecution.

Anti-psychiatry: Encyclopedia - Anti-communism

Anti-communism is the opposition to communist ideology, organization, or government, on either an ideological or pragmatic basis. Anti-communism is a catch-all phrase which defines any opposition to communism as a philosophical basis for a political and social alliance. The term came to have a global meaning during the Cold War, when the powers of Western society sought to coordinate an opposition to the apparent militarist expansion of the Soviet Union.
