Madwomen in the Attic (MITA) considers itself part of the Network Against Coercive Psychiatry and the revolutionary Mad Pride Movement to end the use of forced "psychiatric treatment" as a means of medicalized social control. MITA is part of a larger effort, started by Thomas Szasz, to stop the totalitarian use of psychiatry to control people, especially women. Our mission is to organize in order to fight against the violations of human rights that George Orwell warned of in his novel "1984"-- the kinds of violations that occur when mental health professionals serve as "Big Brother" in extreme and absurd efforts to maintain social normativity by enforcing social conformity and criminalizing difference.
