Summary
In the 1970s, I was a member of an alternative mental health group called Synapsis, which worked to humanize psychiatry in Poland. At that time the predominant model of mental health was strictly biological, grounded in the organic (genetic and anatomic) etiology of human disorders dealt with solely through medical treatment.
