I highly recommend Seth Farber’s book “Eternal Day: The Christian Alternative To Secularism And Modern Psychology”. It argues that modern psychology is a misanthropic cult descending from Augustinianism, which views humanity as inherently sinful & fallen with salvation only accessible by a pre-ordained, lucky few who make up the Church & their faithful flock. On the contrary, Seth Farber envisions a radical activism inspired by Jesus’ own practice in his life & Eastern Orthodoxy, of proselytizing to everyone, especially the “undesirables”, in order to bring forth the Kingdom Of God upon earth. He explains how people diagnosed with serious mental illness, including schizophrenia, generally make a full, functional recovery when they are not enchained to the modern psychiatric scam, begun by biomedical psychiatry & continued by Freud, pointing to the hundreds of letters he received of such cases. He reveals how anyone can be a therapist, & the less qualified the better, since the entire profession is riddled with negative self-fulfilling prophesies about the unfortunates they call “patients”. Overall, this book is ESSENSIAL reading for any psychiatric survivor. I would say it is the single-most inspiring book I have ever read on this subject. ~ Max J.
