Controversy surrounding psychiatry
Controversy has often surrounded psychiatry, and the term anti-psychiatry was coined by psychiatrist David Cooper in 1967. The general anti-psychiatry view is that psychiatric treatments are ultimately more damaging than helpful to patients, and psychiatry's history involves what may now be seen as dangerous treatments, such as electroconvulsive therapy and lobotomy. Some ex-patient groups have become anti-psychiatric, often referring to themselves as ""survivors"".
