Abstract

Anti-mental health trends are manifestations of an ideological struggle under way in the United States in recent years. "Right-wing" groups in the name of "patriotism" have been attacking various aspects of our democratic process. Psychiatry and the mental health movement, for historical, sociological and emotional reasons, have been under increasing attack, a trend that will continue. Organizations and individuals connected with mental health activities must anticipate this development and plan to meet it.
