Earlier this year, in her capacity as Patron of the College of Occupational Therapists, she visited the Cygnet Hospital at Beckton, East London, to highlight the role which occupational therapy can play in mental health.
Amongst other things, the Princess said: "It is always a pleasure to see where occupational therapists are working in preparing people for their lives outside of hospital, improving their confidence and maintaining that confidence. That support can influence where they go in their lives." Quite right, but . . . .
The Beckton Hospital is one of more than 20 psychiatric facilities run nationwide by Cygnet Health Care (for private patients and the N.H.S.) to support people with what they call "specialist mental health services". But less than 30 miles to the West of London is another Cygnet Hospital at Woking to which no Royals are invited, because government Care Quality Commission inspectors having branded the Woking Hospital as "inadequate", and spend visit after visit trying to bring the psychiatrically trained staff up to a level of proficiency where they might actually sometimes cure patients of something !
But like many so-called "Psychiatric Mental Hospitals", its technical delivery of worthwhile results is appalling.
The problems are blamed by management and by Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt on shortages of money, shortages of beds and shortages of staff. BUT, the real truth is psychiatry's own hidden shortage and total lack of an effective technology of the mind.
When patients are regularly misdiagnosed and mistreated, they seldom get better, and so the numbers of patients inevitably goes on increasing, instead of their recovering and returning to a normal life in the community.
Psychiatrically trained staff are blamed (even by the management responsible for their training) as "being inadequately trained", when the truth is that they definitely are trained, but only in the usual ANIMAL researched psychiatric practices, and seldom if ever in modern mental health practices based on research carried out with human beings - who, unlike rats, mice, Pavlov's dogs and other laboratory animals - can actually communicate subjectively, objectively, intelligently and helpfully with the researchers.
So in October 2017 we find reported (about this "one-of-many" U.K. "mental" hospitals to which our caring Royals will never be invited) that 'vindictive' staff 'taunted' young patients by saying: "your parents have left you", and CQC found other comments reportedly included: "if I broke your arm it wouldn't matter".
Where it was also alleged that a staff member failed to intervene to save a patient who tried to tie a ligature around his own neck. Where investigators found that staff on the adolescent ward had used physical restraints 839 times in six months, including 88 cases of (very dangerous) face down restraint. Where patients required emergency help from another hospital after being given a significant overdose of medical drugs.
Where two young patients were left to languish in the intensive psychiatric care unit for eight months, and another two patients for five months - even though that unit is intended for stays of two months or less.
Where an autistic 15-year-old, who had been sectioned, was inappropriately kept on a mental health ward for six months. Where the CQC found that none of the nursing staff held specific qualifications for working with young people. Where incidents, which should automatically have been reported to the local authority were not acted upon.
The Care Quality Commission rightly criticised the "Victorian" standards of such mental health provisions, saying that across the country 3,500 patients are being locked up in secure wards when they should be receiving "treatment". But unfortunately such mental hospital "treatment" normally just means more daily and multi-daily usually addictive drugs supplied at Taxpayer expense.
In July, Jeremy Hunt demonstrated his completely erroneous evaluation of the situation by announcing an intention to create another 21,000 "mental health" posts by 2021, including round-the-clock integrated psychiatric services, and with an additional 4,600 "specially trained nurses" working in "crisis centres".
In other words. By expanding (NOT Mental Health Services but) PSYCHIATRIC Services he will be ensuring that more and more British citizens can be "sectioned". i.e. with the help of the Police, forcibly taken from their homes and locked up in a mental hospital without trial or any "evidence" other than an "order" based on the opinion of a psychiatric practitioner whom the "patient" may never even have met - just as they have been doing in Germany from Nazi times - and still do today !
HOWEVER, if I misjudge him and Mr Hunt should by any wonderful chance mean that he will abandon psychiatry and its animal behaviour based practices as a source of U.K. human mental practice, and instead start making use of DIANETICS® The Modern Science of Mental Health", then he would become the saviour of the British nation's health, and the saviour of billions of £pounds worth of the Chancellor's, the N.H.S's. and our citizens' hard earned taxes.
But NO !
When I write to him to suggest that he should at least "look at" and "discuss" alternative mental health procedures, the replies I get indicate beyond doubt that he is another hypnotised victim of psychiatric and pharmaceutical propaganda, plus false and misleading claims, and political manipulation, similar to the manner in which the psycho-pharms have captured our young Royals.
As a result, Britain is still on its way to paying for more and more daily and multi-daily doses of profitable addictive drugs, prescribed by psychiatrists for more and more invented reasons, to more and more members of our population.
And if it were not for the fact that most people, including myself, respect his honesty, it could make many of us wonder how many pharmaceutical shares Mr Hunt and his family might own ? Or if he is being coerced in some way ?
Because: why on Earth does he refuse to even look at and discuss a 65 year proven superior alternative to the current disastrous Psych Health system ?
IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE AND WON'T, UNTIL HE HAS THE COURTESY TO SIT ACROSS A TABLE AND TELL ME
(AS A TRAINED DIANETICS PRACTITIONER, A FORMER CONSERVATIVE LOCAL PARTY CHAIRMAN, AND A FORMER U.K. MAGISTRATE AND JUSTICE OF THE PEACE)
EXACTLY WHY HE DOESN'T WANT THE TRUTH !
