The Good News

Knockout of compulsory psychiatry with this double punch:

A) The DGPPN (German Psychiatric Association) has surrendered:

It has now also published an advance psychiatric directive that can exclude any psychiatric diagnosis.

B) The claim that there is such a thing as mental illness breaks down in a modal collapse:

A verbal act (the timely signed PatVerfü®) functions as a performative act:

• It erases the possibility of objective attribution.
• Illness no longer exists as a “fact” but only as a contingent opinion.
• This is the “modal collapse”: the modality “possible” is reduced to “impossible,” and the category “illness” loses its status as an objective entity.

The punchline is that it has this ontological effect: there is no longer any “mental illness.” It has collapsed modally!
Because psychiatric practitioners will (still) not want to believe this, we continue to recommend having a legally secure PatVerfü® .
