Abuse of Psychiatry or Failure of its Theory?

Overview

As regards the abuse of psychiatry it is important to differentiate action at the level of commoncrime which should not hold us up. Important are the consequences of failure of the psychiatrictheory. It occurs during application of positivist psychiatric thinking in relation to phenomenawhich it cannot understand because it lacks the means for understanding a deeper level ofhuman psychology and mental disorders. In this respect it is entirely hampered by shortcomingscriticized by Edmund Husserl in the Crisis of European Sciences.Comprehension of Kanner’s child autists is the result of overcoming positivist scientific stencilswhich are applied to phenomena and recognized instead of reality. Kanner’s autists are neitherdefective, nor sick, nor dangerous. They are representatives of a different human horizon whichwe do not understad. Their paleolithic horizon differs from our horizon of European civilizationby the working pattern of the psyche similarly as computers differ by different programmes.The bronze horizon represented by our „not assimilated“ gypsies was severely damaged bypositivist thinking, and also the iron horizon witnessed failure in the field of psychiatrizationof its distinguished representatives in history as well as in individual contemporary cases whenit caused a major upheaval in the mass media.The concept of horizons makes it possible to classify the idea on the nature of homo sapiens andpermits treatment of schizophrenia via psychosis to a healthy state at the highest level ofintegration.Supplementation of Newtonian thinking by a new paradigm will make it possible to extenddemocracy to individuals beyond the European horizon living among us. The present time ismoreover characterized by a retarding introject in the unconsciousness which blocks creativethinking and differentiates out psychiatry from Slovak psychiatry which is about to reform thediscipline. Under these conditions in our country surrogate solutions are encountered such asvarious anti-movements of an extremist nature which are an unpleasant new feature of lateyears.

Key words:
extremist movements - horizons of the human world - paradigm - psychiatric theory.
