With reference to the points 1-4 of 'cult behaviour' i am not sure that one can (1)necessarily equate by itself 'adherence to a specific mindset' with 'compliance' . It may be that rightly or wrongly some are adhering to that mindset because they personally believe in it as opposed to being ' brainwashed' into doing so or indeed have experienced a free willed 'conversion on the road to Damascus'.

Without knowing how many have changed their mindset due to the psychological effects of being bombarded with one official mindset it is hard to say how much 'compliance' is proof of a cult effect. though it can not be dismissed out of hand.

(2) I am not sure you can necessarily equate a " Fuller Torrey is God" attitude with dependence on a leader(though again it can not necessarily be dismissed)
as much as you could equate it with an inability or unwillingness to question whether what is being said is valid or not.

(3) With regards to 'dissent' i would agree that schizophrenia.com is not good at embracing 'alternative voices'.
Unfortunately the behaviour of scientologists and their tactics has met with a somewhat McCarthyite 'Scientologists under the bed' defensiveness whereby it can be too easy to automatically equatre alternative psychiatric thinking with being 'an adherent of Scientology.
It is indeed possible to be both anti psychiatry and Scientologist but it is not mutually inclusive.

For my part i believe that there are mental illnesses or what ever alternative phrases one may choose to use and am not 'anti psychiatry' but due to many negative experiences am not enamoured of many who work in the psychiatric profession.
I am probably best described as anti psychiatrist/mental health professional as opposed to 'anti psychiatry itself.

(4) I would tend to agree with in that alternative viewpoints are not allowed to be discussed in a healthy and open manner but are indeed often suppressed with a 'You are clueless and that's that ' approach.

I certainly think that the site could accommodate a forum for the discussion of alternative thinking with regards to schizophrenia and that such a forum would not be a case of the 'Huns entering the gates of Rome'
