GARTH DANIELS - CME - "Traite' des maladies mentales" (Moral 1860)

Schizophrenia - Extending the definition of disease to a purely subjective concept, allowing doctors to diagnose serious mental illness in the absence of any pathophysiological or psychological evidence

In the second half of the ninetenth century, medical scientists discovered the aetiologies and pathophysiologies of many diseases. While it is true that a host of significant illnesses wre discovered around this time by medical investigations, something more insidious was occuring in psychiatry where Bleuler invented rather than discovered schizophrenia for the purpose of extending the definition of serious mental illness so that it could be diagnosed on a purely subjective basis: thus allowing any doctor to potentially define anyone as seriously ill. It is important to point out that the definition of disease was extended to include both scientific and pseudo scientific diagnosis. In order to fully unmderstand how psychiatry was able to extend the concept of disease to include the purely subjective, we need to revisit the events that led up to its "discovery".

In 1860 the French physician Benedict-Augustin Morel was first to describe demense precoce ( premature dementia) in his textbook, "Traite des maladies mentales" ( Morel 1860). Morel used the term to describe persons who typically showed rapid deterioration in intellectual functioning from an early age typically late teens or early adulthood.

Then the latin term of premature dementia, dementia praccox, was first articulated by Emil Kraepelin in 1898 when he addressed mthe Congress of Southwestern German Psychiatrists in Heidelberg on "The diagnosis and prognosis of Dementia praccox ( Kraeplin, 1898). In the lecture he described 36 kinds of dementia praccox.

Eugene Bleuler took the concept of dementia praccox and etymologically enhanced it by changing its name from Latin to Greek, from dementia praccox to schizophrenia ( Szaz, 1976.p11). According to Areti, Bleuler:
Accepted the fundamental nosologic concept of Kraepelin but enlarged it to a great extent, because he considered as related to dementia praccox many other conditions such as psychosis with psycho[athic personalities, alcoholic hallucinations, etc. Furthermore, he thought that the largest number of patients are never hospitalized because their symptoms are never severe enough; that is they are "latent cases" ( Arieti, 1955, p.456).

GARTH DANIELS - Release From Thomas Embling Prison - Residential Clause

Garth Daniels on the morning of Thursday 9 April 2009 was released from the Thomas Embling Forensicare Facility, a prison which the psychiatrists in practise there call a hospital(sic). But, Garth Daniels is still NOT FREE...he has a residential restriction imposed on his freedom.

Garth Daniels has committed no crime, he has no charges pending, he has not been tried by a court of law... Garth Daniels is not psychotic...yet Dr.Grant Lester a Thomas Embling psychiatrist who signed the release papers chose to impose a restriction on where Garth Daniels should live.

Is this the State of Victoria, Australia? A state which hosts a Charter of Human Rights and Responsiblities Act endorsed by our Attorney General and Deputy Premier, Mr. Rob Hulls?

Of what relevance is the Declaration of Helsinki or the Nuremberg Codes to a patient, when a psychiatrist at a forensic facility may dictate where one must live? Is it not bad enough that these psychiatrists decide and dictate the disease with reference to their DSM rather than listen to the patient?

Garth Daniels besides his photography has a love of music that includes Reggae ...and he often echoes the words of that freedom song of Bob Marley..."Get up stand up for your rights..." It seems that the only pathway to get up and stand up for your rights is through the judical system... and it should be no surprise that this will be persued vigorously..."Get up stand up for your rights..."

Section 106AA. Chief psychiatrist may give directions to psychiatric services... of course there is the assumption that there is no conflict of interest...or is there?

Garth Daniels remains a patient under an involuntary treatment order...and this is twelve years on from his initial admission ...treated by more than 220 psychiatrists in the abyss of that jurisdiction known as Victoria Public Mental Health Service... providers...
