Mental health professional becoming an arm of the American police state ?

 

Letter: Travis J. Hermance: Mental health professionals are the missing link
               

       Is it the purpose of our mental health "experts " to make troubled souls more well adjusted to this " insane society " ? Mind breaking STRESS is the root of most crack ups . No cure for rat race capitalism and the war of all against all ? No end in sight to the monstrous military industrial complex and lunatic preparations for nuclear World War III ? Our SOCIETY is becoming unglued !

               

Himself a champion of the NRA views on avoiding " repressive " gun control , President Donald Trump was hardly being ridiculous when he mentioned the problem of troubled souls "falling through the cracks " of our dysfunctional mental health system.

 

 There is already the danger of mental health professionals becoming an arm of the incipient American police state. American psychiatry is corrupt in its decidedly unscientific support of the capitalist status quo .

 

 Is it SCIENTIFIC to think that human history culminates in the "American Way of Life" ? Way back in 1955 Erich Fromm's " The Sane Society described the misery and " alienation " of humanity in this economic system. Fromm was inspired by both Karl Marx and Sigmund Freud.
