This article provides a historical account of the abuse of psychiatry for political purposes and the involvement of the World Psychiatric Association (WPA) in this issue. The article focuses, particularly, on the developments from 1983 to 1989, which in many ways was crucial and determined the future of the WPA. The authors (the first, the President and the second, the Treasurer of the WPA during this period) pay tribute to Dr. Fini Schulsinger, who served as Secretary General. Through his eminent administrative capabilities, his profound understanding of ethical problems and his devotion to the basic principles of the WPA, he has substantially contributed to successfully overcoming a deep crisis with considerable impact on the identity and the moral foundations of the psychiatric profession.
本文记述了精神病学被用于政治目的的历史情况以及世界精神病学协会（WPA）在这一问题上的涉入。文章特别聚焦于1983年至1989年期间的发展情况，这在许多方面都至关重要，并决定了WPA的未来。作者（第一位是在此期间担任WPA主席的人，第二位是在此期间担任WPA司库的人）向担任秘书长的菲尼·舒尔辛格博士致敬。通过他卓越的管理能力、对伦理问题的深刻理解以及对WPA基本原则的奉献，他为成功克服一场对精神病学专业的身份认同和道德基础产生重大影响的深刻危机做出了巨大贡献。
