Violence Masked As Love

[cradlesong]

...psychiatry is appealing because it masks
the necessarily evaluative dimension of its activities behind
a screen of scientific objectivity and neutrality . . . It was and is
therefore, of great potential value in legitimising and depoliticising
efforts to regulate social life and keep the recalcitrant and
socially disruptive in line.
