This is a cogent slideshow by Ron Unger that explains the continuum of PTSD and psychosis, how they are alike and how they differ. A clear and accessible set of slides that challenges the reductionist biological explanation of extreme states of mind.
About Me
My name is Jeanne and I commit regular acts of art. I was labeled crazy because I complained to doctors about being sexualIy assaulted by my caretakers for the first 16 years of my life. I survived psychiatric iatrogenic drug injuries and went on to sue for damages. My dream is to have a small solar farm and to continue to be a pain in the neck to the arrogant everywhere.
I think this is a powerfull site with a lot interesting posts about this stuff. And i just wanna thank you for this. I’ll follow your website to see if you post more stuff like these!
I dream of living in VT and also having a small farm. My dream is to have a Residential healing farm for people who want to recover from psychiatry and madness.
There is a place here in VT called Alyssum It’s run and staffed by peers, funded by the dept of Mental Health.
Nice. I looked at the website for Alyssum. I wish we lived in VT right now. I guess, more than that, I wish NC had a place like this. My family truly needs a respite center and of course, we need a place for ongoing recovery services, such as Peer-Respite, for the long term. As it is, ACT (Assertive Community Treatment) is the best and only thing going on NC. I’m sure you know how they work and/or the foundation they work from; evidence based research, which I no longer have faith in because it is funded by the pharmaceutical industry and commitment is as common place to ACT teams as walking my dog is to me.
Here’s a link to Mindfreedom International, which contains information about peer alternatives, how to find them, how to start them. Good luck!
