Thesis (M.A.)--Sarah Lawrence College, 2009.

This thesis explores the emergence of the mental patients' liberation movement in the 1970s. Like other social movements of the late 1960s and early 1970s, this movement was founded on the principles of self-definition and self-determination. Its participants transformed the identity of mental patient from a source of shame into a platform for activism, joining forces to judge the mental health system that had judged them so harshly and to take action to correct the faults they found. Chapter One describes the abusive practices of psychiatry before the movement. Chapter Two reviews the critiques of such practices put forth by anti-psychiatry and feminism, both of which influenced the ex-patients' movement. Chapter Three explores the movement's prominent activities in the 1970s. My chief concern here is to highlight the importance of self-determination in the ex-patients' movement and to illustrate its value to its participants.
