"Abuse in Therapy is an inclusive, international e-list for psychiatric consumer-survivors, and those practitioners and others who are struggling to uplift all caring systems." james m nordlund "We provide peer support and validation for ourselves and others by being supportive in validating the experiences of others, who are thereby enabled to share community with us. Physical, sexual, and psychological assaults by the mental health professional community against consumers of services might be understood as a side-effect of bigotry unleashed by the stigma of being a consumer of said services." Kate Hill

"Systemic Assault is 'Character Assassination'.
Bigotry despoils in a dynamic flux of disdain and contempt; discount, demean, debase, denigrate, negate, nullify, annihilate, extinction. Bigotry is irrational coersion both directly and indirectly applied. Bigotry is the judgmental manipulation of parasitism bounded by intimidation, force, and threat. Bigotry is the narcissistic suspicion of the selfish, self-centred, single-mindedly self-involved. Bigotry is the fear, enmity and animosity that results from the denial of the humanity of other. Paternalism is the bigotry of difference that is dominant and seeks to dominate."

""Spirituality" is self-perception: is acculturation: is self-characterization: is self-definition: is self-image: is self-esteem."

""Consumer-Centred" is in recognition of, in acknowledgement of, with a regard for, out of a respect for, in consideration of and in deference to our humanity (philosophy, deism/non-deism, race (culture), colour, gender, education, socio-economic status, age, disability)." By Kate Hill

Talk the talk, walk the walk, and even
Be the be, but, if you don't vote the vote,
You won't ever be livin' in a democracy! By james m nordlund
