Beatrice speaks with Sasha Warren about the lessons we can take from the history of anti-psychiatry movements, and other movements aligned against earlier forms of asylums and mental hospitals, with a particular focus on two groups active in the 1960s and 1970s: Institutional Psychotherapy in France and Democratic Psychiatry in Italy.

Beatrice speaks with Rasha Abdulhadi about the last six months in the escalation of genocidal violence against the people of Palestine, what has and hasn’t changed since the last time Rasha spoke with us on October 13th, and why appeals to “peace” are not the same as calls for liberation.

This is part one of our conversation with Rasha. Part two will be released next week in the public feed, alongside a transcript.
