This is a small part of an item originally posted on my own blog, Shagya Blog The article's source is Insight on the News which appears to be a left-liberal news service. My copy-and-paste originates from Bnet-Business Network News. The first is embedded in the second as far I can see. Anyway the article was printed in 2002 so the information is somewhat dated in some aspects but still worth reading. It demonstrates a belief I've held for some time that news sources directed to a ruling audience are sometimes fairly capable, even honest. Certainly they're ahead of what we usually see on television or the "popular" press. The subject matter deals with a real opinion held by some intelligent portions of the health bureaucracy (in this case American) concerning attempts to "medicalise" psychological problems. Of course anarchists should not be surprised by any of this although I still see some left libertarians using terms like "mental illness" as part of their "critiques" of everyday life. Bad habits die hard I guess. The articles quoted continue on my blog posting and includes some useful hyperlinks
