Steve and Rhett, First of all, when Psychiatrists become the good guys in any argument, I find myself tending to be on the other side. In fact, in my opinion, now that I think about it, the Psychiatric model of mental health, pharmaceuticals, and commerce has done a lot more damage in the world

First off, it's a false binary to say psychiatrists become the good guys by anything I say. This is, in fact, buying Scientology's argument. They offer true mental health and oppose psychiatry; I oppose them, therefore I am pro-psychiatry. It doesn't follow. I could easily protest both
