It has been argued recently that the antipsychiatry movement has transmogrified into a patient-based consumer movement. Instead, the author suggests, various activities and ideas that legitimately could be described as antipsychiatry, or, at least, as highly critical of psychiatry, are burgeoning. These activities include the works of intellectual scholars, such as disgruntled psychiatrists, critical social scientists, and humanistic psychologists; the analyses and writings of high-profile and prominent investigative journalists; blogs, Web sites, and social media that communicate a disdain for psychiatry among citizen Internet activists; and the ongoing, well-documented critique of followers of Scientology. The author concludes that a renewed yet amorphous critique of psychiatry is emerging, even though the tarnished name of antipsychiatry is studiously avoided by all. This critique may intensify, given the likely media and public interest surrounding the upcoming release of DSM-5.
最近有人认为，反精神病学运动已经转变成了以患者为基础的消费者运动。然而，作者认为，各种合法地可以被描述为反精神病学的活动和思想，或者至少是对精神病学的高度批判，正在蓬勃发展。这些活动包括知识学者的作品，如不满的精神科医生、批判性社会科学家和人本主义心理学家；知名和杰出的调查记者的分析和著作；博客、网站和社交媒体，在公民互联网活动家中传播对精神病学的蔑视；以及对山达基教追随者的持续、有充分记录的批判。作者得出结论，尽管所有人都小心翼翼地避免使用“反精神病学”这个名声不佳的名称，但对精神病学的新一轮、无定形的批判正在出现。鉴于即将发布的 DSM-5 可能引起媒体和公众的关注，这种批判可能会加剧。
