Fisher? ok, I'm almost falling love. almost. I mostly agree with her, psychiatry sucks for the most part, particularly in the US where they gave Ritalin to kids instead of candies. social environment and neurochemicals are not mutually exclusive, though, what's wrong is the present academic hegemony of neuroscience that almost exclude any other interpretive approach to mental illness. similarly, some people simply can't help needing drugs to avoid hurting themselves of others, the problem arise when drugs are used as chemical straightjackets to bypass the real issues and neutralize these people because you just see them as a nuisance or a threat to "normal" society. I guess I should talk about this stuff with her and write it here?
anyway, I guess that besides Laing and Basaglia her ideas have also been stoked by Deleuze and Guattari's Anti-Oedipus. if she hates psychiatry, I wonder what she thinks about psychoanalysis. a nuanced distinction between the two would show if she's actually smart or if she's just posing as radical.
