Psychiatry, Capitalism, and the Industrial Machine
by Dan Nelson
The birth of psychiatry coincided with the rise of industrial capitalism, and the two have been intertwined ever since. Our systems have been so consistently damaging that a branch of “medicine” has developed to treat those afflicted by what might be termed “industrial sickness.” Psychiatry, under the guise of science, developed frameworks to identify and manage individuals who deviated from the norms established by industrial society.
By labeling these deviations as mental illnesses, psychiatry helped to neutralize threats to the system. The individual was no longer a person with legitimate grievances but a patient requiring treatment. In that way, psychiatry sides with the oppressors while helping the oppressed better endure their oppression.

I have joined with many parents affected with the surreal , yet accepted issue of child abuse via Pathogenic Parenting / Domestic abuse.
As a survivor of Domestic Abuse, denial abounded that 3 sons were not affected. In my
desire to be family to those who have found me lacking . As a survivor of psychiatric abuse, therapist who abused also and toxic prescribed medications took me to hell on earth with few moments of heaven.
I will share my life, my experiences and my studies and research.. I will talk to small circles and I will council ; as targeted parents , grandparents , aunts , uncles etc. , are
denied contact with a child for reasons that serve the abuser ...further abusing the child.
I grasp the trauma and I have looked at the lost connection to a higher power..
I grasp when one is accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like discrimination..
Shame and affluence silences a lot of facts , truths that have been labeled "negative".
It is about liberation of the soul from projections of a alienator , and abuser ..
