Tell me what this has to do with cryptography, and I'll give you a nickle.
Or, maybe not...

"Although we may not know it, we have, in our day, witnessed the birth
of the Therapeutic State. This is perhaps the major implication of
psychiatry as an institution of social control." (Thomas Szasz, 1963)
NUVUPSY is a forum to share points of view critical of the "therapeutic
state" and institutional psychiatry, and those supportive of contractual
psychotherapy and psychiatry. We're interested in discussions concerning
the relationship between liberty and responsibility and its implications
for clinical, legal, and public policy. The list will serve to promote
alternative views to explaining unwanted behaviors.
Sociological perspectives on the medicalization of deviant behavior are
welcome. Other topics for discussion include but are not limited to:
The myth of addiction as a disease; the ideology of biological
determinism; the obsolescence of the schizophrenia hypothesis; coerced
treatment for addiction and First Amendment rights; criticism
of psychiatric drug prescriptions; etc.
NUVUPSY Board of Advisors include: Bruce K. Alexander, Phil Brown,
Robert C. Carson, David J. Essex, Louis B. Fierman, Robert E. Haskell,
Reid Klion, James C. Mancuso, Roberta Russell, Theodore R. Sarbin,
Jeffrey A. Schaler, and Richard E. Vatz.
