Madness Radio: Buddhist Meditation and Schizophrenia Ed Knight

Ed and Will, I utiliize both of your works to legitimize my advocacy efforts within the belly of the beast here in Massachusetts.

My dedication is to public mental health clients, people who are the most disenfranchised, because these are the folks who are most resemble me when I entered the mental health system at age sixteen, some 45 years ago. Because I have white skin privilege and speak enough of the King's English, my "denial" of my 'mental illness' was not challenged by the mental health authority as it is so often today. [I believe the nine diagnoses I have accumulated over the decades is a profound reaction to childhood trauma and trauma of homelessness caused by childhood trauma.]

I find psychistry the primary arm of facism today. We need to move past identity politics and join with others to create a new civil rights movement in the USA and world wide.

People with mh diagnoses lack any and all civil rights, hence, although I qualified academically several years back to practice both rehabilitation and mental health counselfing I work instead in human rights. This is far more satisfying and real.

Your program is wonderful and your work revolutionary!!!Thank YOU!!! Naomiruth
