It is horrific. And yet the response from advocates, dr's and patients has been very muted. If there is going to be any change it's going to take courage to stand up to these giant abusive asses to effect change. I'm not saying to be strident and abusive in turn but to not back down not be polite and conciliatory trying to find common ground and bring everyone to a happy middle ground or what ever. I don't think that has been working and I don't think that's going to change anytime soon.
With all the positive things happening the UK seems to be peddling backwards and the abusers seem to be working very hard indeed to keep it that way. Even Julia Newton who does decent research is attached to the NHS through her hospital affiliation and doesn't seem to find CBT/GET to be a problem. Just my observation and thoughts FWIW.
I agree with your thoughts. People who don't speak out and stand up for what is right are complicit - especially now when they can't claim ignorance. It's appalling to read these accounts - how can a modern civilised society allow this to happen.
