The document summarizes the views of Thomas Szasz, a psychiatrist who argued that mental illness is a myth. Some of his main arguments were that mental illnesses are not real diseases because they lack physical lesions; involuntary treatment and detention in psychiatric hospitals should be abolished; and the insanity defense should be eliminated. Szasz believed that behaviors labeled as mental illnesses are really problems of living that individuals should have the right to engage in without state interference. The document also provides criticism of Szasz's views, noting that current research supports genetic and biological factors in conditions like schizophrenia. It lists some of Szasz's influential books on topics like suicide, drug use, and the power of the psychiatric profession.
Nature of Cognitive Psychology & Current Trends
According to Neisser(1967), Cognitive Psychology is the branch of psychology concerned with how people acquire, store, transform, use and communicate information.
Cognitive Psychology deals with our mental life; what goes inside our heads when we perceive, attend, remember, think, categorize, reason, decide, and so forth.

Antipsychiatry Movement arose as a zeitgeist of the 1960s anti-establishment movements. It has in a way contributed to the development of psychiatry by pointing out its short comings.
A apresentação inverte a lógica da anti-psiquiatria para descrever vários movimentos críticos da profissão como a psiquiatria contra si-mesma. Como o contraste de Badiou dos filósofos com os anti-filósofos, os anti-psiquiatras compelem a tradição estabelecida da psiquiatria de enfrentar novo problemas com novas perspectivas para renovar o pensamento psiquiátrico. Os duplos temas que emergem desse estudo são: tradição vs. inovação e negação vs. afirmação.
A tese é tripartite: (1) O que é intrigante dos psiquiatras voltados ao movimento anti-psiquiátrico e o que une eles é a negação. Em cada caso, o trabalho procede através de uma negação crítica, até que a característica definidora da anti-psiquiatria é precisamente a negação. (2) Cada negação, e a maneira como foi praticada, fez de cada anti-psiquiatra, dependente do seu temperamento e suas circunstâncias, um rebelde, um radical, um reformista ou um anti-psiquiatra revolucionário. (3) Cada anti-psiquiatra empregou um instrumento de mudança. Baseado em uma negação crítica, cada anti-psiquiatra resistiu à sutura da psiquiatria a uma dada sub-disciplina, prática regional, ou ideologia dominante para libertar a psiquiatria como uma teoria e prática geral e retorná-la à tarefa originária.
Num mais amplo estudo, o autor revisou quatro psiquiatras-chave ocidentais do século vinte que foram críticos do seu campo: RD Laing no Reino Unido, Franco Basaglia na Itália, Jacques Lacan na França e Frantz Fanon na França e Argélia. Nessa apresentação, dois deles serão examinados para mostrar como suas negações contribuíram para a redefinição da psiquiatria e o crescimento da Terapia Familiar. (1) RD Laing (1927-1989) foi um psiquiatra-psicanalista radical, retornando a psiquiatria às suas raízes clínicas, com suas críticas incisivas da análise existencial de Ludwig Binswanger e a prática psiquiátrica em geral, chamando por uma Fenomenologia Social, negando a mistificação da doença mental. (2) Franco Basaglia (1924-1980) foi um reformista que instigou a desinstitucionalização psiquiátrica pelo mundo com seu texto chave, L’Istituzione negata, A instituição negada (1968), e por reformando a legislação de saúde mental da Itália. Ambos, Laing e Basaglia, estimularam estudos familiares na Europa. No Reino Unido, através de estudos das origens familiares e sociais da doença mental, e na Itália, seguido da crise da desinstitucionalização, através do crescimento da terapia comunitária e familiar.
Em conclusão, os anti-psiquiatras foram aptos em usar os seus esforços críticos ao negar aspectos da teoria e prática psiquiátrica para a criação de novas possibilidades. Em oposição às tradições psiquiátricas, eles guiaram o caminho para a inovação, abrindo novas áreas de investigação e prática alem do indivíduo para trabalhar com famílias, grupos e comunidades.

AMPQ - Thinking the event, thinking change - A new theory of change for psych...Université de Montréal
Event refers to an occurrence or experience in the lifeworld of human beings which is an exception or rupture that opens new horizons in life. It derives from Being and Event, the key work of philosopher Alain Badiou which updates and replaces subjective phenomenology, the dominant philosophy of the 20th century that was introduced into psychiatry a century ago through the seminal work of Karl Jaspers. Phenomenological psychiatry became the exemplary model for clinical psychiatry for much of the last century, with many elaborations and refinements by figures as diverse as Eugène Minkowski, Ludwig Binswanger and Ronald Laing.
Badiou’s evental thought outlines a new objective phenomenology for philosophy and the human sciences, including psychiatry. Ever since its foundation by Edmund Husserl, phenomenology has had pioneering psychiatrists apply its philosophy to clinical practice. Husserl inspired Jaspers’ phenomenological psychiatry, while his successor Martin Heidegger’s Being and Time inspired Binswanger’s existential analysis. Sartre’s reading of Heidegger in Being and Nothingness inspired the social phenomenology of Ronald Laing. Our generation now has the inspiration of Badiou’s objective phenomenology in Being and Event to revision psychiatry today. The author recently conducted philosophical investigations supervised by Badiou for his doctoral dissertation entitled Trauma and Event which re-examined trauma by contrasting it to the Event. Working closely with Badiou, the author proposes that the pivotal notion of the Event offers psychiatry and all forms of psychotherapy (from psychoanalysis to family therapy to cognitive therapy) a theory of change (evental being), a new definition of the subject (evental self), and therapeutic practices (evental therapy) that flow from that. Badiou affirms that the author’s proposal for an evental psychiatry opens a broad new horizon for philosophy and for psychiatry.
The presentation will outline three possible model Events for psychiatry and for psychotherapy with clinical illustrations. As well as describing the phenomena of psychiatry in a new, objective way and offering a new theory of change, evental psychiatry also accounts for a new definition of the subject of psychiatry and psychotherapy, the evental self. The self that emerges from the Event will be outlined and linked to contemporary issues in clinical psychiatry.
Anti psychiatry is like feedback for psychiatry that motivate for continue improvement in psychiatry. Everyone knows what is psychiatry, here is what is anti psychiatry. It helps to keep treatment standard and inward facilities up. Mainly opposing restrain against patients denial for treatment.
This research is based on general practice in the psychiatric institutions. It involves a qualitative research method that that uses three peer-reviewed journal article containing information about the scope of psychiatry, emerging issues in accommodating patients and highlight on medication of mental illness

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

5. Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association &
Member of the American Psychoanalytic
Association
Professor of psychiatry at the State University of New
York
In 1969, Szasz & Church of Scientology co founded
the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) to
oppose involuntary psychiatric treatments
In 1971, he found the American Association for the
Abolition of Involuntary Mental Hospitalization
(AAAIMH).
6. The term Mental illness is a myth
Abolishing Insanity defence &
Involuntary hospitalization
Presumption of competence
Separation of psychiatry & the State
Patient’s are malingerers
Right to Die
Right to use drugs
HIS MAIN ARGUMENTS WERE…
7. "The myth of mental illness“
Disease is defined as a physical lesion.
Hence using the term 'mental illness' is a
logical and semantic error.
The reason the metaphor of mental illness is
literalised by postulating it has a physical
basis is so that it can serve as a justification
for psychiatric interventions and institutions.
8. Abolition of involuntary mental
hospitalisation
Involuntary treatment is violence against
humanity.
Detention should only take place under the
criminal justice system.
9. Abolition of the insanity defence
Excusing a person of responsibility for an
otherwise criminal act on the basis of
inability to form conscious intent is an act of
legal mercy masquerading as an act of
medical science."
10. disapproved actions, thoughts, and emotions are
repressed through pseudomedical(Psychiatric)
interventions….
Thus suicide, unconventional religious beliefs,
unhappiness, anxiety, shyness, sexual
promiscuity, shoplifting, gambling, overeating,
smoking, and illegal drug use are all considered
symptoms or illnesses that need to be cured.
From the NANNY state to the
THERAPEUTIC state
11. Separation of psychiatry and
the state.
The state should not interfere with
mental health practice, which ought to
be an individual voluntary activity.
12. He said that ″patients have something
personally significant to communicate but
unable to express this via conventional means
they resort to illness imitation behaviour which
psychiatrists and psychologists have
misguidedly interpreted as the signs/symptoms
of mental illness”.
PATIENT’S AS MALINGERERS…
13. Szasz argued that individuals should be able
to choose when to die without interference
from medicine or the state, just as they are
able to choose when to conceive without
outside interference.
He considered suicide to be among the most
fundamental rights, but he opposed State
sanctioned euthanasia.
SUICIDE ,A FREEDOM OF CHOICE
14. Drug addiction is a social habit not a disease
Supports a drug free market
He compares persecution of the drug using
minority by the state to persecution of Jews
by the Nazis.
RIGHT TO USE DRUGS
15. Szasz conceived disease exclusively in terms of
“morphology“.
Szasz's criticism of syndrome based diagnoses.
Increasing knowledge on genetics,biochemistry, and
current research results on the etiology of mental
illness.
why and how—eg.schizophrenia manifests a cyclical
natural history with a common set of symptoms in
1% of the population worldwide.
Szasz's view of psychiatry as a profession that is
concerned only with maintaining or increasing its
power.
CRITICISM AGAINST SZASZ ARGUMENTS
16. He wrote around 35 books.
Few of them are..
The Myth of Mental Illness: Foundations of a Theory
of Personal Conduct
Fatal Freedom: The Ethics and Politics of Suicide
Pharmacracy: Medicine and Politics in America
My Madness Saved Me: The Madness and Marriage
of Virginia Woolf
The Age of Madness: A History of Involuntary Mental
Hospitalization
Schizophrenia: The Sacred Symbol of
Psychiatry,..etc.
