Indeed? I suggest you read this review (http://reason.com/0205/cr.bd.ill.shtml) of the book Mad in America: Bad Science, Bad Medicine, and the Enduring Mistreatment of the Mentally Ill (http://www.madinamerica.com/) by Robert Whitaker.
Do you not agree that the practices described are atrocities? There is certainly no doubt that they have been, and still are, perpetrated against hundreds of thousands of people.
