I don’t want to get into the space of being antipsychiatry — that take is simplifying.

In the years since, Gøtzsche, who has no special training in psychiatry, has become a fixture on the antipsychiatry circuit, criticizing the discipline in editorials, in presentations, and at various symposia about withdrawing from psychiatric medications.

Instead, Rosenhan’s study gave the imprimatur of science to a growing antipsychiatry movement.

He started to read books on psychoanalysis, antipsychiatry, oriental mysticism, Zen – all aspects of 1960s counterculture, whose grand idea was that we are conditioned, and that we must free ourselves from this conditioning.

The antipsychiatry movement has long argued that the language of "mental illness" hurts more than helps those with emotional problems, because it fuels discrimination and alienation.
