A very astute observation on your part, and perhaps the heart of the issue.
We saw that in the Soviet Union.
Psychiatry and its offshoots, psychology and social work have ALWAYS been used as a tool of conformist repression in this country. Shrinks are doctors, after all - is there a group more square and status quo than MDs? They all follow the trend. Most are leftists. A huge proportion are, like Freud, secular Jews. There isn’t one original thought among them.
