Oppositional defiant disorder

A re brand and attempted re launch of a diagnosis which has crashed into disrepute twice before

Firstly as drapetomania, a disorder amongst slaves, causing them to get uppity and run away from massa, and which was teated by means of a "good" whipping.

And later, in Soviet psychiatry, as sluggish schizophrenia, the chief symptom of which was to question authority and authority figures. Or heaven forbid, to doubt the perfection of the soviet system. It was enthusiastically treated with confinement to psychiatric hospitals, and administration of large doses of psychiatric drugs.

Getting you, as the only one in the group cbt session who has brought a diary sheet to the session.

To read from the sheet,

Then to subject you to withering criticism for not having recorded to the satisfaction of the session leader.

All done in front of the whole group.

(Happened to a friend, last week!)

Good ones! I will add some more.

Oppositional Defiant Disorder
-refusing to accept beliefs of a radical christian religious group (opps I mean cult/sect)
-refusing to submit to abusive psychopathic father

This was family counseling by a senior "religious" leader who thought he was a family counselor (what a joke - more brainwashing.)

-bringing up real history (how that upsets them.)
