I will likely expand on this topic soon. I am working on my own case more right now so I am limited with my writing time on other topics.

I would like you all to think about something though and I am especially including all the good intentioned, well meaning psychiatrists in this suggestion.

As the psychiatrized, we are all but sealed in our fate the instant we walk in your door and sit down to begin an 'assessment'. Most of you now, so filled with enthusiasm for the speedy methods of bio psych have little interest in listening to you patients, whether willing, or unwilling, patients.  The problem is you already believe you know everything before we even open our mouths and the reason you believe that is because you have been programmed yourselves to HEAR what we say in a very particular way, as if we were all speaking in 'code' and you were our 'interpreters' who have cracked the mysterious code of the mad. In fact, the 'code' you believe you have cracked is not there.  It exists in your well programmed heads and most of the time you are keeping it a 'secret' amongst yourselves and thinking of it as superior understanding. It isn't. It's a con. One might say it is a 'supremely elegant' con. Even psychiatrists don't recognize the con.

If I were to tell you that you were actually in a group trance state just like the kind dysfunctional families are in, would you believe me? I think that it is unlikely that you would. The reason that it is unlikely that you would believe me is because you have ALREADY been programmed with the suggestion that if I say there is something wrong with psychiatrists thinking, you are NOT to take that at face value. Instead you are to HEAR it as symptom of mine, being used by me as the starting point of the relating and communication phenomenon, to turn reality around. You do not suspect that it has ALREADY BEEN turned around, BEFORE I even began talking to you about what has happened to me and why. So that when I speak, you are satisfied that you already understand what I am saying and why. As the identified patient of course, I am expecting you to be listening to me, and not 'interpreting' what I am saying with your own 'secret' programming which you are not sharing with me. So talking to you becomes an 'exercise' in futility since though we are using the same WORDS, we are BOTH hearing in alternate meaning.

In the psychiatric nurse from Hell's 'training' there is a concept which states: “you don't know what words mean.'' The 'tearing down' of the target is directly related to making words meaningless. That is why he stays vague, abstract and AMBIGUOUS. Once total chaos and meaningless results, someone else creates the new reality for the target. Torturers do the same thing.

Briefly today, let's look at some of my 'diagnosis' in relation to this.

As the delusional disorder, (paranoid)  I 'think' I have been harmed by a group of others. I 'think' I have been targeted for this and I 'think' that people I don't even know, including bus drivers, are talking about me.

There are two ways to look at that and to hear it.

One way is to just accept it at face , as factual, which I am saying is what it IS.

The other way is the way of the DSM in which everything I have said to psychiatrists is HEARD by then as 'symptoms' of the diagnosis they gave me because before I ever walked in the door, they were all TRAINED to hear what I was going to say in exactly that way.

This experience is not unique to me. It is in fact, extremely common with the exception that it is usually not a group of employees in a psych hospital who 'participates' in it. Most of those to whom it is done NEVER get enough information, or find a way to separate out all the false information they have had added to the mix, with which they have been overwhelmed, from the truth. So they do not become able to make sense of what has happened to them and to be able to understand why. Of course every patient now gets far LESS time to even try by the doctor, than ever before, and more tactics of control and intimidation are used to silence them and force them to agree to accept themselves as inherently defective.
