"We're still caught in a lot of the same thinking that some people just aren't able to be fixed, that there's a hopelessness with the mind. And that's absolutely not true." @susantonetta.bsky.social discussing THE DEVIL'S CASTLE on @chewsviews.bsky.social: bit.ly/3ZRIYZr @catapultbooks.bsky.social

"What happened in Germany during WWII to their psychiatric population...felt to me like a story that's not over...We're still making value judgements about who is worthwhile." THE DEVIL'S CASTLE's @susantonetta.bsky.social on @ksqdfm.bsky.social: bit.ly/4rPVHHV @catapultbooks.bsky.social

This was a great interview. We got into the difficulties of neurodiversity & our ongoing eugenic beliefs.

Improved Psychiatric Care, Through History The moral treatment, Soteria, trialogue—many experts have found great ways to treat mental distress. Just look at history.

A new piece up on Psychology Today, about the questions I get when I talk about my new book: www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/mad-...

The Doctor Who Trained Nazis and Changed Psychiatry Emil Kraepelin trained Nazi doctors and helped shape the DSM.

My latest for Psychology Today--how we allowed a German proto-Nazi doctor to guide our psychiatry. What could go wrong?

Meet the Authors | 'Interspecies Conversations' with Susanne Paola Antonetta YouTube video by Wimblu

I loved this conversation I had with the folks at Wimblu about animal consciousness, orangutans who sign, & what we continue to get so wrong about those who share our umwelt, in their own umwelts.

It’s like Watergate, only in this version Nixon directly mails the tapes to Woodward and Bernstein

A Mind Greater Than an Alpine Mountain Could a neurodiverse mind be greater than an alpine mountain? The concept of a "Perception Box" help us value the richness of consciousness.

A new piece in Psychology Today, referencing my most loathed newspaper article of all time: www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/mad-...

yes!

It all feels like a family with a genuinely abusive family member choosing to just carry on with the holiday traditions, hoping to create normalcy through sheer will and denial.

On Consciousness, Psychiatry, and Thought That Isn't Thought Biologically based mind care has divorced states like despair and delusion from mind and consciousness. Putting them back together can be transformative.

Pretty much everything from this year's Consumer Electronics Show seems like a terrible idea that's going to make bad things worse.

oh good lord.

My search engine suggested an article to me about neuroscientist Anil Seth, who I wrote about recently for Psychology Today. At the end a little note said the article was partly AI generated. Obviously my article was part of its "training," or whatever you want to call it. What the bleep? #writers

My friend Susan calls us the "two-apocalypse" family--spouse & I in Helene, weeks into having clean water again, son Jin unhoused by LA fires. I feel more than I ever have that each day can bring anything, a freefall nausea I don't know what to do with. Somehow we're living God's warning to Noah.
