THE INVOLVEMENT OF THE WORLD-PSYCHIATRIC-ASSOCIATION IN THE ISSUE OF THE POLITICAL ABUSE OF PSYCHIATRY
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
