Can a SICK society really help children with mental health problems ?
How can a SICK society do anything really therapeutic for children with mental health problems ? At the very beginning of life the child desperately needs the love of BOTH his mother and his father . The child needs the primal FAMILY . But Karl Marx described long ago in his famous " Communist Manifesto " how capitalism has destroyed the WORKING CLASS family.
The rat race to survive or for philistine SUCCESS undermines the mental health of most adults in capitalist USA .
Way back in 1955 , socialist author Erich Fromm, a psychiatrist , wrote " The Sane Society " - the negation of competitive, irrational , cruel capitalism. Another Erich Fromm classic " The Art of Loving " in which he explained at length why LOVE is so absent in modern capitalist society .
Do any professional psychiatrists in the United States today hold critical views of the capitalist system ? And teach their patients-children or adults - that they have a right to be depressed , angry , frightened, miserable ? In fact ,teach them that there is nothing wrong with them -in most cases ? We have a very SICK society !
