Matt and Rudy join Sasha Durakov Warren from An Unsound Mind for a discussion on the history of psychiatry reform movements and radical mental health. We discuss how the definition of mind has changed across history, and how the internal movements to reform psychiatry and mistakenly grouped under broad umbrellas that hide a myriad of approaches and contradictions. We also discuss the Franco Basaglia's Democratic Psychiatry movement and Fanon's decolonial psychiatry, and end by envisioning what therapy could look like in a communist society.
