Why Do We Need Psychiatrists?

There really are no rules as to what one must do when incarcerated for having unorthodox consciousness. If you are defined as non-human there's precious little you can do about it. As Jung once suggested life itself is a disease with a very poor prognosis. It lingers on for years and invariably ends with death. In our present knowledge of the human mind such power in the hands of psychiatrists is amazingly dangerous. We do not know how it is done. And that while there are indeed individuals who are certainly able to perform psychotherapy, it is surest arrogance for anybody to say that he is officially qualified to do so.
