sorry if this isn’t the right place to ask, but you seem knowledgeable about anti-psych related things and i wanted to know your opinion. i’ve wanted to become a therapist for a couple years now because i struggle with what’s labeled as “mental illness” myself and am just generally interested in people and helping them with their struggles. do you think that it’s a good idea, or is the situation exactly like cops where the entire system is broken and therefore even “nice” cops are still upholding said system? i don’t want to cause any harm, especially as someone who has been traumatized by forced institutionalization, so if being in that sort of career in general is upholding the system, i’ll gladly find another career that isn’t as harmful. honestly, I’d rather lose my job than forcefully institutionalize someone

hi anon - I saw your message on mad liiberation's blog, and wanted to direct you to a couple messages I've answered before. the tl;dr is that we are, collectively, in an impossible spot: people will both genuinely want and need and be forced into carceral psychotherapeutic systems, and/or need to navigate these systems, however ambivalently, to find support unavailable elsewhere. i can't make the decision as to whether or not / how you want to participate (though I will say that there is no profession in which you will do no harm. literally none.) but i can give you some wisdom borrowed from my own therapist, an abolitionist provider who is a Mad queer crip of color herself and refuses to institutionalize even "very at-risk" clients [hi] in the first bullet point below, as well as some other similar asks i've answered in the last 2 years.

becoming a therapist but also being radical

seeking treatment while being antipsych

engaging with psych while antipsych

approaches to psych disability beyond meds

approaching harm reduction in social work

ethics of working with/in support of autistic ppl

the importance of community healing

i'm also adding this ask to the masterpost which I also recommend checking out!

Wrestling the Python

My first python program follows - At the end of the output you will see two warning messages stating that the convert_objects function covered in the tutorial is deprecated. I was unable to find a way to suppress this but will keep trying.

The program examines optimism versus pessimism in the minds of Liberal and Conservative voters based on the Outlook on Life Surveys (2012, Belinda Robnett, University of California-Irvine; Katherine Tate, Brown University)

To define Political Affiliation I reduced the data chosen by creating 2 subsets of the original code set (question W1_C2: We hear a lot of talk these days about liberals and conservatives. Where would you place YOURSELF on this 7 point scale?) - it had values from 1(very liberal) to 7(very conservative) and -1 (missing). I decided to define Liberal was using values 1-3. I removed 4 as it was right in the middle leaning neither one way or the other and -1 as that signified missing data. Subset 2 was conservative where values 5-7 defined the set.

I then split the results based on Optimism - (question W2_QE1 - When you think about your future, are you generally 1.optimistic, 2.pessimistic, o 3.neither optimistic nor pessimistic?) I used only 1 and 2 selecting only those folks who aligned with one or the other.

The results were interesting - while the population was evenly split between Liberal and Conservative there is a definite leaning toward pessimism in the Conservative camp.However, there is a propensity for Optimism in the overall group with more than 75% feeling optimistic.
