Familiar Madness: 1945-2000CE
History collides with our own experience as we explore madness from 1945 to 2000.
EDIT: Since recording this episode we've learned a lot more about the modern anti-psychiatry and the psych abolitionist movement. There is a lot of diversity of thought among these movements and are largely led by survivors of the psychiatric system. We encourage you to look into these movements and work to better understand them alongside us.
