After reading a bit of his work I have come to realize that we are a small part of all things going on right now (not just in mental health care). The only way forward as I see it is if we become a compassion-movement. Not only compassion for ourselves but also for the very people we are pretending to fight against.
I fact, the Wetiko theory can explain the theory of why there is a growing number of people with mental health problems.
I think the Alternatives keynote should be linked as well:

I think of the WHO report that stated that people with Schizophrenia fared better in developing countries than developed countries.
Teaching local communities in the developed world basically of the medical/scientific model doesn’t sound like a good idea to me.
Thanks for a great website, and I have been looking forward to the forums for a while now 🙂
