psychiatry

n. 1. the direct descendent of the Inquisition, which has successfully promoted imprisonment, debilitation, and torture in the name of help, and which has won over most of the governments of the world, since governments have always considered imprisonment, debilitation, and torture to be the best methods of controlling their citizenry. 2. a study of the mind whose primary finding is that there’s no such thing as a mind. 3. the branch of medicine entrusted with the treatment of the insane. To expand its territory and take greater responsibility for suffering humanity, psychiatry has engaged upon an ambitious campaign to declare everyone insane – which now includes you.
