Destructive Trends in Mental Health (eBook, ePUB)

The Well Intentioned Path to Harm
Redaktion: Wright, Rogers H.; Cummings, Nicholas A.

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book takes as its inspiration the assumption that the atmosphere of intellectual openness, scientific inquiry, aspiration towards diversity, and freedom from political pressure that once flourished in the American Psychological Association has been eclipsed by an "ultra-liberal agenda," in which voices of dissent, controversial points of view, and minority groups are intimidated, ridiculed and censored.
