Here is a text written by Lawrence Stevens, a lawyer who specialized in defending the mentally ill or people who received forced treatment. It compares text in a forced treatment and sexual rape. Indeed, what is worse?
___________
The forced administration of a psychiatric drug (or an alleged treatment like electroshock) is a kind of tyranny that can be compared, physically and moral rape. Compare sexual rape and involuntary administration of a psychiatric drug injected intramuscularly into a buttock, which is the part of the anatomy where the injection is usually made: the rape as sexual in the involuntary administration of psychiatric drug, force is used.
In both cases the victim's pants are pulled down. In both cases, a tube is inserted into the body of the victim against his will. In the case of sexual rape, the tube is a penis. In the case of what could be called psychiatric rape, the tube is a hypodermic needle. In both cases, a fluid is injected into the body of the victim against his will. In both cases, it is in (or near) the rear.
In the case of sexual rape, the fluid is semen. In the case of psychiatric rape, the fluid is Thorazine, Prolixin or other brain-disabling drug. The bodily invasion is similar in both cases, otherwise (for reasons I will explain) worse in the case of psychiatric rape. Similar too is the sense of outrage in the mind of the victim of each type of aggression. As Thomas Szasz, professor of psychiatry, "violence is violence, regardless of whether appointed psychiatric illness or psychiatric treatment." Some who are not "hospitalized" (that is to say, imprisoned) are forced, under threat of imprisonment ("Hospital"), to appear in a doctor's office every two weeks for an injection of a neuroleptic long-acting as Prolixin.
Why is psychiatric rape worse than sexual rape? [...] The part of your body's most essential and most intimate is not between your legs but the one between your ears. Aggression in the brain of a person as the imposition of a "treatment" disabling or damaging to the brain (as a psychotropic drug, electroshock or brain surgery) is a crime for intimacy more morally horrifying than rape sex. In moral terms, the psychiatric rape is a more serious crime than sexual rape for another reason: the involuntary administration of "therapies" biological psychiatry causes permanent brain damage.
This contrasts with the fact that, in women raped, sexual function usually remains intact. They obviously suffer from psychological trauma, assault victims but also mental. I hope these remarks will not be interpreted as minimizing the trauma and horror of sexual rape if I make the point that I defended in court for women victims of sexual rape and that each of the half-dozen (approximately) of women I have known have resumed a sex life seems normal, and in most cases were married and started a family.
Instead, the brains of people who have undergone psychiatric assault often are not fully functional because of damage caused by physical and biological "treatment". In a televised debate in 1990, psychoanalyst Jeffrey Masson, Ph.D., said he hoped that those responsible for such "therapies" will face one day to "trial-like Nuremberg" (Geraldo, Nov. 30, 1990).
