Yes, you are right, bluebicycle! Some of the persons inside the system who should have been our helpers are not! We must hope that when all the very old doctors are shifted out, younger ones with new and more modern thoughts will do it in a better way. BUT, and there is a 'but', we can never prevent that persons with authoritarian traits will become doctors. I hope that does not frighten people who are new to Mental Disorders. If they go to therapy and feel that the/those persons treating them behave like 'one up/one down', and have tried to communicate how they feel and have not been taken seriously, it's time to find a new therapist ... There are lots of good ones as well.
