Tell me what this has to do with cryptography, and I'll give you a nickle. Or, maybe not... ;-).

NUVUPSY on LISTSERV@MAELSTROM.STJOHNS.EDU "Although we may not know it, we have, in our day, witnessed the birth of the Therapeutic State. This is perhaps the major implication of psychiatry as an institution of social control." (Thomas Szasz, 1963) NUVUPSY is a forum to share points of view critical of the "therapeutic state" and institutional psychiatry, and those supportive of contractual psychotherapy and psychiatry. We're interested in discussions concerning the relationship between liberty and responsibility and its implications for clinical, legal, and public policy. The list will serve to promote alternative views to explaining unwanted behaviors. Sociological perspectives on the medicalization of deviant behavior are welcome. Other topics for discussion include but are not limited to: The myth of addiction as a disease; the ideology of biological determinism; the obsolescence of the schizophrenia hypothesis; coerced treatment for addiction and First Amendment rights; criticism of psychiatric drug prescriptions; etc. NUVUPSY Board of Advisors include: Bruce K. Alexander, Phil Brown, Robert C. Carson, David J. Essex, Louis B. Fierman, Robert E. Haskell, Reid Klion, James C. Mancuso, Roberta Russell, Theodore R. Sarbin, Jeffrey A. Schaler, and Richard E.
