Wikipedia

Psychiatry

Mental illness is a myth. Psychiatrists are not concerned with mental illnesses and their treatments. In actual practice they deal with personal, social and ethical problems in living.

Thomas Szasz, The Myth of Mental Illness: Foundations of a Theory of Personal Conduct (1974)

Psychiatry

I can't stand feeble, robotic psychiatrists. They give you false drugs and turn you into a zombie.

Ian Brady, as quoted in Evening Standard, Tue 25 June 2013, pp.1-4

Wikiquote

Psychiatry

Not only psychiatry itself but also the values reflected in its statistical definition of “normalcy” serve to condition men to habitual, unthinking, conformist behavior.

Benjamin R. Barber, “Forced to be Free: An Illiberal Defense of Liberty,” Superman and Common Men (New York: 1971), pp. 68-69

Climate policy knowledge for well-informed decision-making

An EU project aims to support policy and decision makers in taking well-informed decisions, by facilitating understanding of the consequences of different policies and climate regimes, thereby reducing uncertainties and enhancing their insights. Work to date involved identification of knowledge needs and their consequent addressing by collecting and synthesising knowledge.
