Crazy Fashion Model Girls In The Psychiatric Hospital

American psychiatrist Loren Mosher noticed that the psychiatric institution itself gave him master classes in the art of the "total institution": labeling, unnecessary dependency, the induction and perpetuation of powerlessness, the degradation ceremony, authoritarianism, and the primacy of institutional needs over those of the persons it was ostensibly there to serve-the patients.
The anti-psychiatry movement coming to the fore in the 1960s has opposed many of the practices, conditions, or existence of mental hospitals. The psychiatric consumer/survivor movement has often objected to or campaigned against conditions in mental hospitals or their use, voluntarily or involuntarily.
Some anti-psychiatry activists have advocated for the abolition of long-term hospitals for the criminally insane, on the basis that those judged not guilty by reason of insanity should not then be indefinitely confined with potentially fewer legal rights, or alternatively that insanity is not a coherent concept and so does not provide a basis for different treatment.
