Topic on Talk:Psychiatry

From ProleWiki, the proletarian encyclopedia

I am unsure of the relevance of this page to the Prolewiki project and how it fits in it. Psychiatry is not a uniquely Marxist topic, and not all Marxist-Leninists agree to be anti-psychiatry.

It is probably possible to present the history of psychiatry through a Marxist framework, for example by examplifying bourgeois psychiatry, but most of the page has to be reworked.

Since this is the psychiatry page, this proposal would fit it more. It's not the anti-psychiatry page and therefore should not represent a solely anti-psychiatry point of view.

As our mission is to "make information accessible to revolutionaries and those who wish to study revolutionary theory" (https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/ProleWiki:About), it would have to be proven on the article's page that being anti-psychiatry is important for a revolutionary proletarian government and I'm personally not sure about that, it seems psychiatry exists in socialist governments (this would be interesting to include on the page too).
