It's kinda strange to think that in 2011 we don't use these treatments. As strange as people way back in the day (way back in history) might think not using waterboarding to treat mental ill health.
How has the treatment of distress changed over two centuries changed such that a treatment is now considered a torture? One unacceptable to be used in 2011.
Well the sad thing is that in the name of mental health, the broad term, things which are not safe, humane or ethical can be justified and with the advent of psychiatry the power of science was misused.
The fundamental concepts have not yet been reduced in the way that science can truly achieve the results which we are used to in the physical world.
There is no periodic table of elements. This applied to mental health would mean a scientific understanding of cause, elements, and compounds, effect.
This, applied to mental health, means a revolutionary leap in understanding the human condition and society's interplay as well as other stuff beyond biology.
Can't start without knowing hat stuff means. And it has relevance because people are dying because of the misuse of science.
