i have been considering all this -
Regardless of my own views - this project is trying to look at steps to be all inclusive.
Mental illness effects people of all religions / non religious spirituality & none / Atheist - it effects people across the left / right political divide - it effects rich & poor.
Some people go with the biomedical model / hard sciences, other's more with the soft sciences, or more integral.
The project has to be accommodating of all of them
With this project as far as possible i don't want any biases - & i have to work on my own biases as well.
We are looking to be all inclusive.
Neither anti / pro different religions / Atheism
Neither anti / pro left / right politics
Neither anti / pro medical model / medication
We do not wish for it to be prescriptive in any way.
We are looking beyond all the anti / critical / pro / alternative psychiatry / pharma argument / divisions as well.
We have to acknowledge that everyone has different viewpoints - across -
All the World religions / spiritual systems & Atheism.
Capitalism & Socialism - Left & Right Politics - & Global systemic alternatives - progressives & traditionalists - Globalist's & nationalists.
Anti, Pro, Critical & Alternative psychiatry / Pharma - health professionals & service user opinions / needs.
The biomedical / hard sciences with the soft sciences.
Ethnic / Cultural / Geopolitical / National / Economic & other differences.
Gender & Race issues.
Poverty & Inequality.
Human Rights issues / areas - health & social care.
Corporate / Environmental issues / areas.
& differences in other areas.
