Committed to the Sane Asylum
In Committed to the Sane Asylum: Narratives on Mental Wellness and Healing, artist Susan Schellenberg, a former psychiatric patient, and psychologist Rosemary Barnes relate their own stories, conversations, and reflections concerning the contributions and limitations of conventional mental health care and their collaborative search for alternatives such as art therapy.

The Application of Cybernetic Analysis to the Study of International Politics

There is growing international resistance to the oppressiveness of psychiatry.
